I upgraded the project files to VS2008 format, changed some obsolete
settings, hacked distutils so it wouldn't barf on the Windows SDK 6.1
and added include paths to tcltk to the python.vsprops.
I did similar changes to all the external modules, tcl, tk, bzip2,
etc.

This was on the 2.5.2 tarball b.t.w. I suppose I could grab the svn
tip, if things have changed there, but I thought I'd start at an
official "release" point.

Thanks Gabriel, for some reason I just assumed everything PC related
was in the PC* folders and the docs I found don't mention the msi
folder. I'll have a look there.
