  Applied my patch #1455 with some extra fixes for VS 2005
  The new msvc9compiler module supports VS 2005 and VS 2008. I've also fixed build_ext to support PCbuild8 and PCbuild9 and backported my fix for xxmodule.c from py3k. The old code msvccompiler is still in place in case somebody likes to build an extension with VS 2003 or earlier.
  I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

audiopy		Audiopy is a program to control the Solaris audio
		device, allowing you to choose both the input and
		output devices, and to set the output volume, that can
		be run either as a command-line script, or as a
		Tkinter application.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

compiler	Tools used to maintain the compiler package in the
		standard library.

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

i18n		Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py 
		parses Python source code and generates .pot files,
		and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog 
		from a catalog in text format.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.	 Works easiest if you have Tk.

pynche		A Tkinter-based color editor.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

unicode		Tools used to generate unicode database files for
		Python 2.0 (by Fredrik Lundh).

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.

world		Script to take a list of Internet addresses and print
		out where in the world those addresses originate from,
		based on the top-level domain country code found in
		the address.
