I didn't try because I don't know how to do that in this specific
case: what compiler switches to use, which libraries to link against,
and (last, but not least) where to place the resulting DLL.  There
isn't a word about that in the dulwich distro, only a Makefile where I
found that it invokes setup.py, which in turn invokes some magic in a
Python module I don't have (distutils).

If someone could run this on Unix or GNU system and tell me what was
the GCC command line run by setup.py, that would be a huge step
forward.

Just the C extensions supplied with dulwich, nothing else.

Thanks.
