That latter comment hasn't been true since Microsoft started releasing
the Visual Studio Express editions.

Given the length of Python's release cycles, diffs against released
versions are far too likely to be out of date. We want diffs against
the head of the relevant branch.

People that can't check out and build their own version of Python are
quite welcome to simply report issues without trying to fix them
themselves.

Cheers,
Nick.
