this looks like some kind of distutils problem.
There are some long string constants, but I don't 
think there are any real unterminateds in this code.

I suspect the option -DLIBART_VERSION=\"2.3.10\"

When I use distutils on freeBSD I get that error, but if I
copy the compile command above and paste into my xterm the
command works fine. The \" is required on M$ win32.
If I change setup.py line 11 from
        return '\\"%s\\"' % string.join(map(lambda k,D=D: D.get(k,'?'),K),'.')

to
        return '"%s"' % string.join(map(lambda k,D=D: D.get(k,'?'),K),'.')

then things work fine.
