Is there any reason you feel this is useful? Most Windows users 
find the precompiled version works just fine. The Activestate 
download has a few extra Windows features but they are all 
available for the Python.org version as extras too.

I can't think of a good reason to build your own Python 
executables unless you want to add some custom features, 
but as a newcomer thats unlikely!
