[pybsddb] Where can I get build instruction for Windows / Python 3.2?

[Baptiste Lepilleur]

Thanks for the pointer, I'll check this out.

I looked into the issues and it seems that the setup3.py script can not
possibly work on windows. Below is a small patch with the changes I had to
make it works (pass all tests), though it contains some hard-coded value and
can not be reused as is.

Here is a synthesis of the issues I run into:
1) incdir/libdir are initialized in a hard-coded way. It ignores any value
provided on the command-line (only used by Unix)
2) assertion was checking if the version was supported, but 'db_ver_list'
was only defined for Unix section
3) the tuple build for version number was build with string instead of int
4) the dependencies on system libraries were not provided on link, with
caused unresolved symbols
5) Unsupported 'runtime_library_dirs' is passed on Windows to distutils
which causes the build to fail. (somewhat inconsistent as it first emit a
warning...)
