You should compile Python under MSVC using the MSVC workspace
PCbuild\python.dsw.  See readme.txt in that directory for details.  You
should see no warnings or errors (I sure don't, and I've been doing it
every day for months <wink>).

grammar.c etc are NOT normally compiled on Windows, and, indeed, python.dsw
has no idea they exist.  They're only used when the Python grammar changes,
and the parser tables need to be rebuilt as a result.  That step is
normally done on a Unix system, and the results checked in and merely used
on Windows.  For example, Parser\metagrammar.c is an output of this
process, but is just an input to the Windows build.
