Thanks Kevin....with it being 75 degrees here I guess I am crazy to be 
sitting indoors trying to compile code.....but this is my time to try 
stuff while I have the week off...

FWIW setup.py has next to nothing in it:
--------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys

from distribute_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup, Extension

if not hasattr(sys, "hexversion") or sys.hexversion < 0x02040000:
    raise Error("Python 2.4 or newer is required")

if os.name == "posix":
    from setup_posix import get_config
else: # assume windows
    from setup_windows import get_config

metadata, options = get_config()
metadata['ext_modules'] = [Extension(sources=['_mysql.c'], **options)]
metadata['long_description'] = 
metadata['long_description'].replace(r'\n', '')
setup(**metadata)

--------------------------------------------------------

But not sure where things like 'get_config' live unless setuptools has it...
