Building and embedding python with borland c

I posted a question on comp.lang.c asking for a flexible way to handle user
input. I originally was looking to add some tokens to a calculator routine
and call it from my C program. Someone suggested that I look into tcl.
Well, tcl more than meets my needs on a unix machine, but I need a solution
that is portable between unix and dos. I posted a question to comp.lang.tcl
asking for help with improving the portability of applications using tcl,
and someone suggested python because it appeared to be more portable.

I have obtained the source to python and compiled and tested it on our
decstation. I have briefly looked at the FAQ and the python distribution
and I do not see any suggestions for building python with the borland
compiler. I need to build the python distribution with borland C++, so I
can embed python into my program compiled with borland C++. Can someone
give me python makefiles or project files for borland c++ (I am using v4.0)?
I am not very proficient with borland c++, and I have had problems getting
other unix libraries compiled without borland specific makefiles.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
