New version of compile.py

[David Ascher]

I've upgraded the version of compile.py on my website.  It is now at:

  http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/compile

What it is:

compile.py is a tool which reads many Setup files and automates the
building of Python extensions on Windows.  It incorporates a modified
version of Konrad Hinsen's compile.py which worked only on Unix.

What's new:

There have been many changes since the last website release.  Most
significantly, it now automatically builds the extensions using PythonCOM
and Visual Studio 6.0, if both of those are available.  Also, it
automatically creates projects for both Debug and Release configurations.

Cheers,

PS: The entire website has been redesigned.
