[issue25850] Building extensions with MSVC 2015 Express fails

[Zachary Ware]

Zachary Ware added the comment:

I'm inclined to close this as 'not a bug'.  There's not much we can do about that (if you want 64 bit extensions, you need a 64 bit compiler), and 2015 Community Edition does include the 64 bit compiler (if you select it).

I'm not sure if there's anything to be done in distutils to handle things more gracefully.
