[python-win32] C++ problem (was rebuilding 210 with VC8 woes)

[Mark Hammond]

I'm afraid that compile error doesn't ring any bells with me, and I've no
copy of VC8 handy to verify your error with.

I'm not sure what you mean - they were setup by hand creating win32uiExt.h.
They were created to give the win32ui related subclasses common
functionality without a copy-and-paste between various implementations with
different base classes.

I wish I could be more help,
