Well, I hope everything is OK then. In the past I've told that C 
extension should be linked against exactly the same msvcrt library that 
Python is built otherwise there is possible very bad runtime crashes 
when manipulation with OS file handles are performed. Maybe this sort of 
issues is not the problem for bzr.
