I've set up a Parallels virtual machine on my Mac, and have succeeded
in getting Windows XP running in it!  And I've installed MinGW, as
well.  Now I'd like to learn how to build the SSL module from source
on Windows for Python 2.5.2.  Is there any documentation on the
process of building an extension from scratch that's appropriate for
someone who doesn't know much about Windows?  I'm looking for
step-by-step.

What about this?  http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/Python%20extensions
