I tried building version 0.6 (I need ICU 3.6) against python 2.3.
It doesn't build. The makefile seems ok, but I get compile errors.
I have installed cygwin and msvc6.

I get the following error. (german system!)

bases.cpp
bases.cpp(2468) : error C2440: 'type cast' : 'enum ' kann nicht in 'void *'
konvertiert werden
        Es gibt keinen Kontext, in dem diese Konvertierung moeglich ist

Can't convert enum to void *. No context to do this conversion.

That's the first output. I have done no further checks.

I will test version 0.5 and verify this. Thanks.
