I'm trying to rebuild

pyfribidi(pyfribidi-0.10.0) / pyfribidi2(pyfribidi2-0.8.0)

for a new windows machine, but am encountering difficulties.

I used to use the build.vbs script from http://svn.silentsound.net/pyfribidi/, 
but although the script mostly works OK in terms of patching various C issues 
and I get a fribidi.dll built, I find that whichever of pyfribidi / pyfribidi2 I 
use I'm getting missing entry points with the 0.19 series of fribidi.

fribidi_unicode_to_utf8
fribidi_utf8_to_unicode


The only difference between the two sources I have for pyfribidi / pyfribidi2 
seem to be in the copyright dating and in the module name.

Looking at the source code of fribidi 0.19.6 I see that log2vis is deprecated 
and it is not clear which interface I should even try to use.

Is there a more modern version of pyfribidi?

Looking in the various repos I see that fribidi_unicode_to_utf8 is in the old 
code, but I suppose I should really try and upgrade to use the latest version if 
at all possible. Additionally the old fribidi_logvis seems to have a different 
argument structure to the interface that pyfribidi.c uses.

What should I be using/doing?
