What's worse - I will need to learn the magic compiler chain incantations
that I have avoided for so long. This is complicated by the fact that I am
working on the win32 platform and need a free compiler. I've got the MinGW
package with gcc - which is probably the *best* free compiler - although I
understand there are issues with easily using it for pyrex/win32.
Has anyone any experience of doing this ?
Yes.
Can compiled extensions be distributed for use by people without MinGW
*and* without dependency on an extra dll as a result of using this method ?
Yes. See:

Will my resulting binary be free of GPL restrictions ?
Yes.
