I've just compiled (VS 2003) mod_python from svn/trunk and it seems to work fine
with apache 2.0.52 (self compiled too). I created VC-project file for
_psp.pyd and it seems to work too.

What i've done to make _psp.pyd :

  - Created empty win32 dll-project, added all psp-related *.c and *.h
    files, added include/libs dirs of Python 2.4 to project.

  - Removed #inclusion of <unistd.h>

  - edited definition of init_psp functio to:
    __declspec(dllexport) void init_psp(void);
