I just built Python CVS with and without ntsec enabled.  There is no
difference -- both builds succeed without any failures.  However, there
is (minor) problem with make install when ntsec is enabled as pointed
out by Norman above.  I will be submitting the attached patch to Python
CVS to correct this.

Yes!  Why CCSHARED is not being used during the building of the extensions
(i.e., by distutils) is the crux of your problem.

Note that your problem is really a Python distutils problem.  So, you
may have better luck at distutils-sig@python.org then here.  Don't worry
-- I'm subscribed to that one too! :,)

Thanks,
Jason
