Re: msvcr90.dll is MIA?

[Filip]

Maybe this is a stupid question. I don't know, I don't use windows.
But what's so special about msvcr and visual studio compiler? Python
compiles fine with gcc under unixes, so is it a problem to compile
python interpreter with mingw and get rid of the proprietary runtime
dependecies? Or does the windows python port make heavy use of ms'
libs?
