[issue2698] Extension module build fails for MinGW: missing vcvarsall.bat

There is an issue with Visual Studio 2008 and the latest 2.6.5
It searches using

productdir = Reg.get_value(r"%s\Setup\VC" % vsbase,
                                   "productdir")

I just fresh installed Visual Studios and there is no registry "setup" folder. So you can't find the install directory that way at least not on my machine. Windows 7 64-bit and I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1
