I took a look at this some more, and was able to get adsi built
for python 3.1 using the module (adsi.cpp) as generated by the Py3k port
of swig, and the interfaces (PyIADs****.cpp) as generated by the
Python2 version of Swig, with just a few manual modifications.
If anybody needs adsi for Py3k really badly, we could "un-swig" it
temporarily.
On an ironic note, I was going to see how much work it would
take to duplicate the lost custom code in our Py3k port of swig,
but I seem to have lost the source code somehow ....
