If you want to use a non-Microsoft compiler, you have to explicitly say so when you invoke setup.py with the "--compiler" flag. I personally have had success with mingw32. Once you have that installed and setup, there are additional Windows build instructions at the top of setupext.py.
Let us know how you progress.
