I did the ximage->mem changes and now I can build it with MSVC++. 

The program crashes at region_dealloc's free(self). The error occurs at
MSVCRT's _free_dbg_lk's _ASSERTE(_CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)); , where
pUserData is region_dealloc's self. This might (unlikely) have something to 
do with a messy debug build (python pulls MSVCRT, but _skgtk pulls MSVCRTD). 
On the other hand also in the release build some errors occured that had 
similar call stacks. I will post the patch to savannah that makes it possibe 
to do a Windows build.
