Summary: msvccompiler.py doesn't recongnize VS2005

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to compile some python extensions by VS2005. However, it seems that msvccompiler.py doesn't recongnize VS2005. Only VC6/VS2003 is supported. When will distutils fix this?

You should not be using VS2005 to build Python extensions, unless you know
exactly what you are doing. If you do, you should set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK and
MSSdk.

Closing as 'works for me'.
