[pyicu-dev] pyicu with python 2.3 under windows

[David Bolen]

For what it's worth, the Makefile for PyICU 0.5 built just fine for us with
the native Python 2.3 under Windows against ICU 3.4 (once a few source
changes were made, which have been incorporated into 0.6).  I haven't tried
building 0.6, but it doesn't look like the Makefile changed.

We did have Cygwin installed on the systems doing the build (so GNU make and
the Cygwin stuff in the Makefile was present), but as long as you have VC6
as the default compiler in your path, it should build the native extension
just fine.
