[Libvir] libvirt on Windows

I am trying to talk to a 4.0.1 Xen Hypervisor (not Xen underneath a Linux Distro) (via Python) from a Windows box. (Am able to successfully connect and communicate using the Xen API Python bindings). Looks like at the very least I need to build libvirtmon.la from the c sources. Am I just dealing with "beginneritis", or trying to do something (run from Windows) that hasn't been done before? thanks ronald
