I got the binaries at
http://www.stackless.com/binaries/stackless-python-252.zip and
installed them over my existing Python 2.5.2 installation, as directed
at the http://www.stackless.com/ front page. (ie. "if you use
Microsoft Windows, obtain the provided precompiled binaries to install
over those in your existing Python installation").

Yes. It seems a bit odd to need to include stackless explicitly when
it could be included via the Python directory, but I do have it in
there in case there is something odd with the #include order.

Yes, I'm guessing that might be the case.

If I look through files like slp_platformselect.h, it seems to assume
that if you are on Windows, you're using Visual C++, which I'm not.

Perhaps the code in switch_x86_unix.h needs to be adapted for my
platform (essentially GCC on Win32/x86)?

Not sure what else to try - the files are in place, the include
directories set up. After all, logically speaking, if they weren't I'd
simply get an error saying a #include failed before it got as far as
any code that requires stuff from that #include.
