The error code (1159) is related to no output file specified. The command 
run clearly includes the /OUT parameter:


/EXPORT:PyInit__parser build\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\beancount/parser/lex
er.obj build\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\beancount/parser/grammar.obj build\
temp.
win-amd64-3.6\Release\beancount/parser/parser.obj 
*/OUT:build\lib.win-amd64-3.6\beancount\parser\_parser.cp36-win_amd64.pyd* /
IMPLIB:build\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Rele
ase\beancount/parser\_parser.cp36-win_amd64.lib

but I still get the link error 1159... strange.

I've tried moving the beancount source to the root of c:\, and running the 
compile as administrator. No dice ;/

Any suggestions?
