I'm not that much familiar with SWIG/Python anymore, anyway the library to
be linked should be automagically selected by including config.msvc.hpp
through the inclusion of qldefines.hpp
This should apply everywhere under Windows.

The above SWIG/Python disclaimer still applies, anyway it should depend on
which compiler Python has been compiled with. As long as you use the
official Python distribution compiled with VC6 you're going to only link
VC6 libraries.
