Summary: There should be a Python build using Visual Studio 2005

Initial Comment:
This report is a follow-on from Bug# 1498051, which 
complained that Distutils doesn't recognize Visual 
Studio 2005. That bug was closed with a statement 
that extensions should be built with the same version 
of the MS compiler that built the Python system. 

Given that Visual Studio 2003 is no longer available 
as a commercial product from Microsoft, many people 
(myself included) must use Visual Studio 2005. 
Therefore, I am requesting that a separate `batteries 
included' Windows installer be provided where 
everything has been built with VS2005.
