Thanks for the rapid response. After some more playing around with 
compiler flags and Windows fixes, I got the trunk code to compile the 
generators, run them, and compile fribidi.dll with VS2003. I can't get 
ctypes to work with that DLL, but Pyfribidi seems to load fine.

My problem now is that it's still returning an invalid UTF-8 sequence 
for the Arabic text I'm giving it, but that's for another message.

Thanks,
