I can build one if you will send me a .zip file containing a "setup.py" and 
all needed source to build.  I don't have time to track down any missing 
pieces, though, so please make sure everything that's needed (e.g. any 
persistence or extensionclass header files) are included in the .zip and 
are referenced in the right way by the setup.py and the .c files.

In other words, if all I gotta do is "unzip ...; cd ...; python setup.py 
build" and then send you the .pyd file, I'm your man.  :)

Also, Steve...  Ty and I are now potentially in a position to offer you 
commit privileges for ZPatterns and our other Zope-related stuff in our 
CVS, if you want it.  E-mail us off-list if you'd like to discuss it.  Thanks.
