mc.exe is the Message Compiler:

which is used to compile messages for the EventLogs.
I appear to have it installed somewhere as I've just built the current
hg tip of pywin32 against Python 2.7. It's certainly part of the Windows
SDK. It doesn't appear (at a glance) to be part of the Visual Studio
toolset.
Did you particularly want to build your own pywin32? Otherwise, just
grab one of the binaries from the sourceforge files page.
