easy_install ZODB3 looked fairly good during installation until the end:

This seems to say things will work, just not as fast as they could. But
I'm a little puzzled why things would work at all, since I don't have a
build environment on the machine (well, there is a compiler that's part
of the MS SDK, but I'm not really sure how capable or operational it
is--it did seem to compile some sample C code in the kit).
Is there a pure python fallback for the C code? I thought ZODB had some
C-level magic.
