help compiling Python on vs 2008!

[Matthieu Brucher]

Hi,

I did not manage to build extension with distutils with Python compiled with
VS different than 2003. The need for 2003 was hard-coded in distutils.
You can try building extensions with VS2008 with Scons. This is what I do a
lot, and everything works fine as long as the interface does not use
standard structures (like FILE, custom structures are fine) or objects
allocated in the extension is freed in the extension.
