[Distutils] Re: distutils?- Borland Extensions

(A plea for help from a Zope newbie...)

I am attempting to build the elusive "_mysqldb" module required by 
ZMySQLDA, from 
<http://www.zope.org/Members/adustman/News/MySQL_Support_20000115>, under 
Win98 with Borland BCC 5.5.

In the post 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2000-October/001694.html>, 
Rene Liebscher wrote:

This failed for me, so I replaced the entry in config.h for "python20.lib" 
with "python20_bcpp.lib":
        #pragma comment(lib,"python20_bcpp.lib")

(many Thanks for this obscure tip)
The error file resulting from this step is posted below

Can anyone provide any enlightenment as to what I could be missing, or 
where I should be looking for 'LIBS.OBJ'?  Are the warnings shown below 
usual for this module?  I am neither a C or Python programmer, although I 
was in a former life, many years ago.  I found and loaded BCC just for 
this project.

On Win98, I have loaded: 
 -- Be-Open binary Win32 distribution/installation of Python 2.0 , 
BeOpen-Python-2.0.exe, with include files from BeOpen-Python-2.0.tar.gz
-- MySQL-python-0.3.3.tar.gz
-- ZMySQLDA-2.0.4.tar.gz        (this is the package I wish to use, with 
LoginManager in Zope)

(Next question...)
My ultimate goal in using LoginManager is to enable members of a ski club 
to:
-- Apply for membership
-- Update their own information, including access passwords
-- Sign up for trips and events
-- Post articles, chat and view the membership list, after authentication
-- Allow for management of user information and the remainder of the site 
by a small core of administrators
Are there limitations in LoginManager that would limit its use in 
performing the authentication and session management required by the 
above?

Thanks in advance....
