Something else has changed.  I can no longer install JCC with mingw32.
I can do the

   python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

step fine, and it seems to build the .pyd file just fine, but now when
I try to install it, I get

$ python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
copying jcc\config.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\jcc
running build_ext
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.
$

And, of course, passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py results in an error.

Weird.
