there is no make utility for windows. The way to build portable python
extensions is ... distutils ... designed specifically to provide the
right build environment for linux and windows. That why
python setup.py build
works exactly the same way. That's not trivial to achieve. Internally
it has to generate the right compiler and python specific incantations
to achieve this. As far as I know C++ is supported.

When Microsoft says cross platform what they mean is that the program
works on: Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista. I get the
feeling the type of 'cross platform' that cmake is used for is the
same, only this time is about the various Unix flavors.

ok, but if does not actually work but you claim that it does, won't
that potentially waste someone's time who tries follow through? That's
all I am saying here.
