Create hippo.dll and libhippocanvas-1-0 wrapper using python2.6

Problems faced and its solutions:
---------------------------------

1: 
Admin@XP> cat <<EOF >/cygdrive/c/Compile/pygtk-codegen-2.0
#!/bin/sh
C:/Python27/python.exe 'C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/gtk-2.0/codegen/codegen.py' "$@"
EOF

above command could not create pygtk-codegen-2.0.py with "$@" instead it create "" so we need to manually edit "" --> "$@"

Note: if you are using windows editor then don't forget to convert back file format to unix format using 
      Cygwin dos2unix.exe utilities otherwise it's gave '$'\r': command not found error at ./configure
     

2: when we create dll of http://svn.gnome.org/svn/hippo-canvas/trunk and ported it to OpenERP Client it's produce glib error because python wrapper for this trunk version is broken I download latest version of hippo through http://git.gnome.org/browse/hippo-canvas/  and revert up Bump release number to 0.3.1 because after that it's remove python binding due to hippo support GTK introspection and it's work fine with OpenERP Client
