.so vs. .dll

[David Ascher]

I have a possibly silly question. 

I'm trying to install Python (www.python.org) version 1.5a2 on NT4 w/ b17
(I left the ZIP with b18 at school).  It works fine as a static build,
but I'm having a hard time building it using dynamically loadable modules.

Python comes with an NT build possibility, but using the MSVC compilers --
since I want to use gnu-win32, I've been using the 'unix' mode of building
Python instead.  

Is there a way to do .so's with gnu-win32, or do I have to make .dll's?

I've read the FAQ and the info on making dll's, but this is more basic...
