The same problem seems to exist on Unix platforms. For some
reason, the symbols defined in cgipython are not accessible
to the dynamic linker on Unix. Don't know why, because 'nm cgipython'
clearly shows them as being defined...

For Windows: you can probably use the python15.dll from the
standard 1.5.2 distribution (simply place it into the same
dir as cgipython).
