IMO, submitting a patch to the Numpy maintainers using the DL_EXPORT
macro approach is the way to go. This is the approach that I used
successfully for numerous standard Python modules. See the following
for Tim Peters assessment of this approach:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/013292.html
I have also successfully used this with the Python LDAP module:

Why don't you try the Numpy maintainers and see what they have to say?
Since they already support a Win32 port, I can't imagine much resistance
on their part.
