Re: [f2py] f2py without MS Visual Studio

Try it without -lmsvcr71.  I don't know who added that to the page or  
why, but I've followed those insctructions verbatim on multiple clean  
installs (without VS) and never had to link against that dll.  
(although it has been a while)

Can anybody on the list comment on why that instruction was added?
