I was doing this already:

python setup.py config --compiler=msvc --fcompiler=intelv build_clib
--compiler=msvc --fcompiler=intelv build_ext --compiler=msvc
--fcompiler=intelv bdist_wininst

Pertinent distutils output:

...

running build_clib
No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils, trying from distutils..
customize MSVCCompiler
customize MSVCCompiler using build_clib
