John: in the current versions of the toolchain, Python's configure fails for 
me. I follow steps 1..3 of "Steps to date". Then running ./configure fails 
saying that it does not work. I then tried alternatively these three approaches:

1. set PATH to include /mingw/mingw/bin
2. set CC to /mingw/mingw/bin/gcc.exe
3. set CC to /c/mingw/mingw/bin/gcc.exe

Even though I can run gcc -v just fine, configure fails with

configure:3593: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3615: /mingw/mingw/bin/gcc    conftest.c  >&5
gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory^
configure:3619: $? = 1
configure:3657: result: no

So apparently, mingw has some problem mapping the file name back to a Win32 
path.
