I suspect the main reason Windows binaries are produced is because a)
Microsoft doesn't ship Python installed on Windows, and b) your garden
variety Windows user doesn't have the tools necessary to build Python from
source.  Not being a Windows user myself I don't understand all the ins and
outs of VC6 v. VC7, legal or technical.  Is there nothing Microsoft could
have done to make VC7 compatible with the existing VC6-based build
procedure?
