Thanks for testing this, Steve! It sounds like PCbuild/readme.txt will need a
significant update in the setup portion to cover the different ways to get what
is needed (and to mention PC/VS9.0 as a simpler setup).
I use third-party extension modules rarely

32-bit build was fine (VS 2013 + SDK 7.1 + VS 2008), but something has gone
funny with the 64-bit. Need to go AFK for a bit now, but I'll try and figure
that out later today.

Looks like the required install configuration is:
* VS 2008 + VS 2010, or
* VS 2008 + VS 2013 or later + Windows SDK 7.1

New submission from Zachary Ware:
Here's the (enormous) patch backporting 3.5's project files to 2.7. It also
takes care of adjusting the old project files to their new home in PC/VS9.0,
and makes a couple of small adjustments in distutils.command.build_ext, FixTk,
regrtest, and the Tcl/Tk
