The problem is that some compiler support code was removed
in Python 2.3. As a result, the VC++ compiler barfs at the
static arrays which don't define the number of elements explicitly
(the assumption that computers can count sometimes leads to
strange results).

Here's what you have to add to all occurrances of mx.h in the
egenix-mx-base and -commercial packages:

...
/* Include Python backward compatibility stuff */
#include "mxpyapi.h"

/* --- Compiler support
--------------------------------------------------- */

/* Support for compilers which don't like static forward declarations
    of arrays; Python 2.3 removed the support for BAD_STATIC_FORWARD
    which is why we now use our own little helpers here. */
#undef staticforward
#undef statichere
#ifdef BAD_STATIC_FORWARD
# define staticforward extern
# define statichere static
#else
# define staticforward static
# define statichere static
#endif

/* --- Declare macros
----------------------------------------------------- */
