Exactly what you're looking for can be found in the Python source
distribution.  Get that, unpack it, and navigate to

    PC\example_nt\readme.txt

The C source and MSVC project files also live in that directory.

Note that the PCbuild directory contains MSVC project files for building the
Windows Python distribution, and several of those build DLLs too.
