Re: [matplotlib-devel] re lease strategy, and the role of v0_98_5_maint

>> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

This is most likely due to the localtime problem when building extensions
with mingw. I encountered this too when trying to get the scikits.timeseries
module ready for a release.  I implemented a work around mentioned on the
python users list a while ago, you can take a look here:

http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scikits/trunk/timeseries/scikits/timeseries/src/c_dates.c

lines 2585 - 2609

Basically, if you use localtime, time or time_t anywhere in your extension
and compile your extension with mingw for python 2.6, it will fail to
import.  This is due to some conflict with mingw and visual studio 2008, the
details of which I am not really familiar with, I just know the work around
works.
