That's nice to know, but I personally don't have an MSDN subscription.
Many scientists don't have access to development tools like VS2008.
Many hobby developers don't have access expensive MSDN subscriptions.
Many don't develop C personally, but just "needs a compiler" to build
an extension with distutils. And for all of us not subscribing to
MSDN, this is the only remaining source.
