In the form of the patch that I posted in bug 711047 (attachment 
259242), this is supported.  I have enhanced Shixin's scripts a bit to 
support this.
I have quickly tested this under Python 2.7.5 in Windows using this 
patch by updating the line in glib_msvc_files.py:
gio_test_filters_conds = {'OS_WIN32': True}
-to-
gio_test_filters_conds = {'OS_WIN32': True, 'OS_UNIX': True, 
'HAVE_DBUS_DAEMON': True, 'HAVE_DBUS1': True}
which indeed added the *NIX and d-bus test programs into the list of 
programs to build, for example (it's obviously not fully buildable for 
MSVC, but this is to verify things :) ).

I don't think this should impose any restrictions on the Makefile.am's 
that are being used at all.

As Shixin mentioned, this basically reads the various Makefile.am's to 
get the strings (i.e. source files) based on the conditions that was 
passed in and to fill them into the MSVC files.  These Python 2/3 
scripts do nothing more than that.

I used msvcfiles.py to contain most of the functions that would be 
shared between projects, and glib_msvc_files.py for items that are 
specific to the GLib package, for references.

Thanks!  I really appreciate this piece of info.

List: are there other views about the Python situation on the Linux systems?

With blessings, thank you!
