It's not too hard. Tkinter, bsddb and friends are explained in PCbuild/README.txt. You should be able to compile them in less than half an hour. For the MSI installers you also need Python 2.5, your pywin32 package and some additional tools like the help compiler and cabarc.exe. Martin: Have you solved the problem with the VS CRT redist (http://bugs.python.org/issue1569)? Maybe Mark is able to assist you.
