You missed one: by far the simplest way is to use distutils, which then 
is able to call the VC++ compiler and linker to build the dll (although 
by default it wil get the extension .pyd, but that's irrelevant). Works 
like a charm. By making a small batch file with the single line "python 
setup.py install" I could build from within the SciTE editor, and thus 
catching the output of the compiler, which allowed me to simply 
doubleclick to jump to any syntax errors in my sources.
