After trying unsuccessfully to determine the cause of leakage in the
dynwin win32 backend I asked for an assist on comp.lang.python. Thomas
Heller then suggested his alternative to calldll called ctypes.

After about three hours I made an alternate to dwgui.py/mswgui.py using
his framework and this now also seems to work and more importantly it
doesn't seem to leak. This is called ctmswgui.py. 

It's slighly more messy than dwgui (we have to be explicit about using
the  A version or the W version of the win32 API), but there're only two
modules _ctypes.pyd & ctypes.py and Thomas says he'll do the debugging
if we encounter serious problems ;)

What do others think of the competing msw approaches (if anything).
