Right. It looks like distutils still just supports only the version used to
build Python itself - and no official Python releases use vc8.

VC 7 is no longer being SOLD, but you can certainly download it if you

I tried building with Visual Studio 2005 (which uses the VC8 compiler line)
and distutils reports that it cannot find a compiler.

Note that in general, you *must* use the same compiler for extensions that
you use for Python itself.
