+1b. Building wxWindows on Win32.
 
    For Win32 systems I use Visual C++ 6.0, but 5.0 should work.  The
    wxPython build utility currently does not support any other win32
    compilers.  Be sure to copy include/wx/msw/setup0.h to

+	   wxUSE_LIBTIFF		    1
+
+   I also change these:
+
+	   wxUSE_DIALUP_MANAGER		    0
+	   wxUSE_SOCKETS		    0
+	   wxUSE_FS_INET		    0
+
+   There are probably other flags that can be disabled to remove
+   things not being used in wxPython, but I havn't investigated all
+   the potential configurations yet.
+
+   I find it easiest to build wxWindows using the makefiles, that way
+   I don't have to worry about what the IDE might be doing behind the
+   scenes that might screw things up.  Simply go to the src/msw
+   directory and run:
+
+   nmake -f makefile.vc CRTFLAG=/MD EXTRAFLAGS=-D__NO_VC_CRTDBG__ dll pch
+
+   If you want to make a release build, add FINAL=1 to the nmake
