[Python-Dev] Failed building 2.5rc1 pythoncore on VC8

[christopher baus]

> VC8 is not a supported compiler at this point.  However, patches are
> greatly accepted.
>
> The _types module was added late and probably VC6 and VC8 project
> files did not get updated.  You can search for the necessary mods to
> the VC7 proj file(s) on python-checkins.
