I'd recommend to either use mingw32, which will work with the CVS
version of PySQLite, or the commandline Borland C++ compiler, which is
untested with PySQLite, but probably works, too.

Both are free and work with Python's distutils, provided that you read
the distutils docs.

In the next PySQLite release, we'll offer Windows installers, too.
