That was by pure luck only. Other people did have problems.

If that's not the case we will need two Python 2.5 installers, one compiled with VC 7.1, one with VC 8.0. I'll try to build SVN Python with VC 8.0. If that succeeds, is there an equivalent of "make install" that will give me a directory structure resembling what I get from the binary installer?

You can create an installer yourself, through Tools/msi/msi.py. There is no "make install" procedure.
