[lxml-dev] Building Python2.6 Windows eggs

I've been unable to build lxml under windows using mingw, having
followed the instructions from:

 * http://plone.org/documentation/kb/using-buildout-on-windows
 * http://codespeak.net/lxml/build.html#static-linking-on-windows

The full error message is attached, but this seems to be the same
undefined refernece problems people have run into before (e.g.
http://osdir.com/ml/python.lxml.devel/2007-07/msg00039.html).

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or do I need visual studio?

It would be great if someone could build a python 2.6 Windows egg and
upload it to pypi!
