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,
