Marco,

I believe that the key is to have your installed python in the path, and then
the python setup.py script for GDAL queries it to find appropriate information.

I can't promise that msys/mingw builds with python support will be easy
though.  I'm under the impression it might be tricky though I haven't done
it myself.

Best regards,
