ok, I spent some more time with this, but seem to be stuck

here's what I've done so far...

o my Python 2.2.2 is in C:\Programs\Python22

o unzip the PyOpenGL 2.0.1.03a dist in the above dir

o download swigwin 1.3.13 from:

   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1645&release_id=50594

o place OpenGL headers appropriately

    C:\"Program Files"\"Microsoft Visual Studio"\VC98\Include\GL

    into C:\Programs\Python22\PyOpenGL-2.0.1.03\include
  > look around for glsmap.h - Google to the rescue - found it here:

    http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena/course/6/6.837/include/GL/glsmap.h

    copy it into C:\Programs\Python22\PyOpenGL-2.0.1.03\include as well

o in C:\Programs\Python22\PyOpenGL-2.0.1.03 do:

    python setup.py install

    after a while, build fails with:

building "Togl"
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX -I..\include 
-IC:\Programs\Python22\include\numarray -IC:\Programs\Python22\include\Numeric -IC:\Programs\Python22\include -Isrc\Togl-1.6

error: command '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\BIN\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2

so, a problem with finding the right Tcl, apparently - but the Installing (and Building)
page seems to indicate that for 2.2.x I shouldn't need to do anything special - I
looked around a bit and can't find tcl.h anywhere in the Python22 tree, though - do I
need to install Tcl/Tk separately?
