[issue1162] Python doesn't compile on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 "Orcas" Beta 2

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

This problems are surely solvable. However, I don't think they need to
be solved yet. Instead, before we make the next Python release, we
decide what VS version to build it with; if it's Orcas, then the
PCbuild directory will be updated to contain working project files.

Meanwhile, if you want to do something now, feel free to submit a
patch, either to PCbuild or PCbuild8. We will not apply that patch,
but it would be available for anybody who wants to experiment with
beta versions of Microsoft compilers.

Regards,
Martin
