VisualStudio2005 supported in distutils

[mg]

I know the incompatibility problem to have Python compiled with one 
compiler and packages with another one. Nevertheless, in my case, Python 
is well compiled with VisualStudio2005 thank to project files provided 
by Mr Python himself. So, Python is not yet ready to support completely 
VisualStudio2005: Python can be compiled with VisualStudio2005 but a 
VisualStudio2005-compiled-Python can not  install  additional packages.

So, if someone  can help me or provides me a solution, I am very 
interested ;-)
