Summary: MSVC compiler problems with .NET v2.0

Initial Comment:
There is a problem with msvccompiler.py that does not 
allow it to work with MS Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 
v2.0

msvccompiler.py
__revision__ = "$Id: msvccompiler.py,v 1.64.2.4 
2005/08/07 20:50:37 loewis Exp $"
from line 128 

            if version > 7.0:
                self.set_macro("FrameworkSDKDir", 
net, "sdkinstallrootv1.1")
            else:
                self.set_macro("FrameworkSDKDir", 
net, "sdkinstallroot")

should be replaced with 

            if version == 7.1:
                self.set_macro("FrameworkSDKDir", 
net, "sdkinstallrootv2.0")
            elif version > 7.0:
                self.set_macro("FrameworkSDKDir", 
net, "sdkinstallrootv1.1")
            else:
                self.set_macro("FrameworkSDKDir", 
net, "sdkinstallroot")

I dont have must dev experience on distutils, so this 
might not be the best solution

This is not a bug. You shouldn't use Visual Studio 2005 to
build extensions for Python. Python extensions should be
built with the same version of the Microsoft compiler that
was used to build Python itself. For Python 2.4 and 2.5,
that's Visual Studio 2003.

Closing as "not-a-bug".
