On a partially unrelated note, I've had good luck compiling Python (1.5.2)
under MingW[*] with minimal fuss. I still use Cygwin as a build environment
so that make, configure, etc. all work. This may turn out to be the easiest
and cheapest way to get developers going under Win32. If anyone cares, I can
see what it takes to get a threaded build of the current Python CVS going.

[*] MingW is GCC targeted to native Win32 executables, just like Visual
Studio would produce. For more information see:
