Uli, Thanks for your info. I've taken a look at class 'MacroExpander' in 'Lib\distutils\msvccompiler.py' and it's all a bit complicated for me. I've done a lot of googling and there's next to nothing about hacking distutils to make it work for Visual C++ 2005. So looks like I'm going to have to use MinGw after all.
