That bug report was just closed blaming a distutils issue which
apparently numpy aren't going to work around :-( I don't know if you
want to pick up on the issue and argue the case with the guy who
closed it.

So no, numpy won't build on Windows. Maybe in Python 3.5, if someone
aggressively pushes for a distutils fix. But I'm not holding my
breath.

Sigh.
