The situation I was talking about is that you have a pre-compiled Python 
and PostgreSQL installed on your system, together with their header 
files, but you do not have the full source of Python and PostgreSQL 
available. I want to be able to compile PyGreSQL as a Python extension 
which is using functions from the python.dll and the libpq.dll, assuming 
that the installed header files match the installed dlls.
