I thought that it was clarified some time ago, with my success reports for 
the pre-alpha version.  Paul Moore has also independently confirmed this, 
and posted reasons why he doesn't believe that the dangling references to 
msvcrt should cause a problem in practice.

The item that was unclear was whether newer versions of MinGW could get 
away *without* building a libpython24.a file, and Paul indicated that this 
was not possible.

So, using the script that I posted previously to build libpython24.a from 
python24.dll is still a valid path for using MinGW to build extensions for 
Python on Windows.
