I'm trying to build 15 with win32 vc++ 6.0 distutils 0.1.2 I get the following output which is
messed up by my lack of a proper shell. The upshot is that it fails to find libpython15.lib
which is obviously a unixism since I do have python15.lib in my libs area. Is this a Numerical
setup error or is it in distutils?
