[Boost-users] Boost.Python tutorial: not exporting inithello w/ MinGW

I have an issue which seems to have come up earlier this year, and I
was wondering if it had been resolved:

http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_frm/thread/53bbf2a4e0e94e67/8e1e3d3bb77eb5f0?lnk=gst&q=inithello&rnum=1#8e1e3d3bb77eb5f0

This is the same as my problem except I haven't verified with a manual
build. When I build the tutorial example, hello.pyd doesn't appear to
contain an inithello method:

C:\Temp\shedskin-0.0.15>python
Python 2.4.3 - Enthought Edition 1.0.0 (#69, Aug  2 2006, 12:09:59) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hello
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (inithello)
>>>

I built the .dll and .pyd straight from the unmodified  Boost.Python
tutorial files, using MinGW g++ 3.4.5 and Python 2.4. Is there
something I'm leaving out, or is this a bug in MinGW and/or bjam?

Thanks,
Max
