Mark's reference seems more directed at designers of the compilation steps for 
the extension. From Zachary's comment it seems I should be able to build with 
distutils without too much trouble.

However, I try to link bits of various libraries statically into the reportlab 
extensions eg freetype.lib. Does anyone know if I will need separate versions of 
those for VS2015? Currently I build with distutils for Python 27, 33 & 34. 
Currently the .libs seem OK with both 2.7 & >=3.3 builds, but I notice from the 
reference that all the code for VS2015 needs to be built with specific options 
set, so will I need separate versions of the relocatable libs?
