Indeed, it would. As I said before: if somebody defines a clear, fair policy which finds agreement in the community, I'm willing to change the current policy on what goes into python24.dll, and what is built separately. Bonus points if the policy is accompanied with a patch. The policy should not be static, i.e. it should also give a guideline for modules introduced in the future. At the moment, the policy is this: "everything that does not depend on an external library should go into pythonXY.dll". As a result of this policy, everybody downloading the sources should be able to build Python as long as you have the right version of Visual Studio. The reason for this particular policy is that it simplifies maintenance if there are only few external .pyd files in the standard distribution.
