they claim that they do this from what i read, so probably the trick is in
there somewhere. and yes, i would like to have this running under windows, but
i have almost no windows experience and no machine here in my apartment to
expirement with so unix support will come first.

from the python folks it seems windows .dll's are easier to deal with than
elf shared objects, so hopefully the windows part will be painless later on :)
