I don't even know how to do that! :-)  What's the difference between VC++
.net Standard and Visual Studio .net Pro?  (Besides $370?)  Is the former
C++ only, but with the IDE, and the later the whole shebang with SourceSafe,
VBASIC, and all that?

OH NO!  I've gone seriously off-topic.  Please don't call the Spanish
Inquisiton.  Allow me to re-phrase the question:  What do I need to build
(on-topic) Python extensions?
