Oh, one other thing: python itself seems to be using MSVC 7.1 (the
same as us) .. c.f.
http://docs.python.org/ext/win-cookbook.html
So that seems to me to be another argument in favour of sticking with
the version we're using.

This came up during today's checkin: Jeffrey mentioned that we
should see if Chandler can be built using a free (or definitely more
recent) version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Currently, we run MS
Visual Studio .Net 2003 on the build machines.
As Jeffrey mentioned, Heikki looked into this a while back, and it
turns out he documented what he did extensively (Thanks, Heikki!):
+ wiki summary: http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/VisualC2005ExpressEdition
+ bug with more detail: https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5671
(see also the 2 "Depends on" bugs, 1 of which is fixed)
+ short dev list thread: http://markmail.org/message/ughue52fb5ktnfbf
The upshot seems to be:
+ there were some DLL issues to solve (though it's possible those
have been mitigated by the PyLucene switch to openjdk)
+ some optimization ("performance guided optimization") is not
available in the free version.
Anyway, this makes me thing going down this path is a bit of a can
of worms for now ...
