Finally sat down and got my ancient Win2K setup updated sufficiently to install Python 2.6 and MingW32 into it.  Have just compiled the OpenGL_accelerate wrapper.pyd with the setup, but as of yet I don't have enough other 2.6-compatible modules available in the environment to actually test it.  Numpy doesn't seem to be available yet.

SimpleParse didn't compile due to some undefined symbols, looks like C++ name mangling is happening to the missing name (_imp__mxTagTable_Type), or maybe something to do with the definitions for exporting of the symbol.
