Once upon a time I dowloaded a tool written by David Ascher to create msdev
project files for Python extension modules. It seemed to work pretty well, but I
have since lost track of my copy, and haven't had any luck finding it on the
starship site. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to any time soon, what
with attacks by alien cruisers and all. If anyone out there has a copy I would
be most appreciative.
