Hi,

I'd need to use pyrexc for building python bindings, is there any plans
for including it in the cygwin distribution?  (the upstream tgz currently
installs just fine).

And about python, there's something odd with libpython2.4.dll.a: it
is located in /usr/lib/python2.4/config/, unlike Linux where it is
located in /usr/lib/python2.4/

That poses problem with linking with it.  The ac_python_devel.m4
file shipped with autotools uses get_python_lib(0,1) from the
distutils.sysconfig package for determining which path to give
to gcc's -L so that gcc's -lpython2.4 can work, and that returns
/usr/lib/python2.4 (just like in Linux).  Could this somehow be fixed?

Samuel
