[pydotorg-www] Windows compilers

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Hi Gerard,

thanks for the note. I'll try to get more information from our
Windows expert on this: Steve Dower.

Steve: How could we best update the page to guide people to the
current set of tools ?

https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers

The dev guide (still) points to VS2017:

https://devguide.python.org/setup/#windows

but it already mentions the the "workload" installation approach.

Would it be a good idea to point Python users in the same direction
or is there a less involved setup/download available ?

Thanks,
