In the past it was a real pain in the ... to set up a build env. Since I
have created the PCbuild9 directory for VS 2008 and we decided to build
new builds with VS 2008 it is dead easy. You *just* need to install VS
2008 and no more extra SDKs. The free Express Edition of VS c++ 2008 is
sufficient.

All extra dependencies are in Python's SVN repository.
