Make sure you have VC6 installed, else you'll be unable to build extensions 
for Python23. VC7 worked for building Python22 extensions, but no longer 
(and if anyone can explain why, I'd love to know). 

   error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and 
   extensions need to be built with the same version of the 
   compiler, but it isn't installed.

I'm reinstalling 2.2.3 so I can keep developing with Reportlab until I can 
get hold of VC6 or a fix for 2.3.
