[issue2698] Extension module build fails for MinGW: missing vcvarsall.bat

[Craig McQueen]

Craig McQueen <python at craig.mcqueen.id.au> added the comment:

I ran it as follows:

    \python31\python.exe setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 --verbose

and got:

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'cobs._cobsext' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

If I run:

    gcc --version

I get:

gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
