Visual Studio 2015 has been released for about 7 weeks now.  Community
Edition (the free one) should be plenty to compile Python extensions
in either 32 or 64 bit.  In general, if you build your extensions
using distutils, it should still 'just work', but some truly exotic
situations may be different (or broken, in which case please file
bugs!).  Unfortunately I don't have any kind of documentation quick to
hand for this.
