You have installed 2.2.3.
You will find a /include folder there.
Copy the /include folder (with content ;-)) to
[path]/mingw/include/python22
so you will have mingw/include/python22/include

You will need a libpython22.a
That one is not in the installation of Python 2.2.3.
But you can take python22.dll and create the .a library.

This is how to do it:

1. get pexports
   http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/mingw32
  
2. extract pexports to [path]
   
3. copy python22.dll to [path]
   
4. execute:
   pexports.exe python22.dll > python22.def
   
5. execute:
   [pathOfMinGW\bin]\dlltool.exe --dllname python22.dll --def 
python22.def --output-lib libpython22.a
(that's one line)
   
6. move libpython22.a to [pathOfMinGW\lib]
   
7. delete the copied python22.dll and python22.def

Now adapt the config and makefile files:

config, add (or change #UNDEF USE_PYTHON to):
#define USE_PYTHON 1

makefile, add:

include/python22
and
LIBS -lpython22
