[Numpy-discussion] how to compile numpy with visual-studio-2003?

Unfortunately, no Windows-x86 or Windows-x86-64bit Numpy-1.0rc1 
installer are available on SourceForge yet. So the only current solution 
for us is to compile it.
Moreover, our generic C++ framework is compiled with VisualStudio on 
Windows-native and we compile all additions to it with the same 
compiler, if compilation is needed.
Indeed, we have observed that Visual C++ is still the closest to a 
"default" or "native" compiler for windows platform, like gcc is for 
linux....well at least that's our experience when using other commercial 
(or open-source, think python whose provide visual project files) 
softwares requiring rebuilding/relinking.
Use MinGW for Numpy means risk some un-compatibilities between Numpy and 
our framework (and even Python) or migrate all our development 
environment  from Visual Studio to MinGW. this is not really an option 
for the near or mean furture....
If some of you have good experiences for linking (static or dynamic) 
libraries compiled with mixed compilers (especially mingw and visual), 
knowing that our libraries contains C++, C and fortran code, we could 
consider this as a temprary option for numpy, but for convenience we 
would ultimately prefer to use only 1 compiler to avoid a double 
maintenance of building tools....
Then, I wonder if the compilation of Numpy with Visual-Studio-2003 (or 
2005) is scheduled ?

For your information, this is the standard output and the standard error 
of the compilation of Numpy-1.0rc1 with Visual Studio 2003:

 >>> command line >>>
python setup.py build 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt

 >>> stdout.txt >>>

Thanks a lot for your help.
