I managed to set up a compilation toolchain in Windows following that
tutorial so what's your problem?

I installed MS .NET 1.1 and its SDK, the Platform SDK for Windows 2003
sever and the mstoolkit (you have to borrow it from somewhere because
it's not available anymore)
Then I hacked distutils and all worked well.

The only issue is to find the MS Toolkit 2003...
