sorry, terry, you deleted a bit too much context :)
I was referring to this at pyjd.org:
Pre-built amd64 .debs are available for download, providing
pywebkitgtk-1.0, libwebkit-1.0-2 and libwebkit-dev, here:
* Download libwebkit-dev, libwebkit-1.0-2 and pywebkitgtk-1.0
and this

was my acknowledgement that a Windows binary is not trivial and that I
don't expect one from you after all the nice work you have done.
[compiling with mingw32]
why the python developers didn't include the patches, and keep them up-
to-date, isn't clear.
Mostly likely because no one who uses mingw32 has volunteered to become
the mingw32 Python developer who would update such patches to current
Python (now 2.6/3.0) and support them by responding to bug reports and
by upgrading them to 2.7/3.1 in the next few years.
Any system supported in core Python code with a set of #includes needs
*someone* who will support that set. If the supporter disappears and no
one else volunteers, the #includes become obsolete and get deleted.
