[python-win32] Python implementations on Windows 8rt

[Marcell Vazquez-Chanlatte]

So I've been trying to compile the ARM build for internal testing (aka have
access to the win32 API) I'm having trouble actually setting up the project
to accept the new platform. I'm new to visual studio but does anyone have
any suggestions?

Getting :  fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'ARM' conflicts with
target machine type 'X86'

I'm pretty sure there is an error in the config file but I'm not sure.
