Note that I also could not build PyWin32 against 2.4.1c1 and I suspect this was the same problem. (Still checking to see if this change fixes the PyWin32 build for me.)

Be sure to speak up if it doesn't! Any build that invokes the C compiler often on Windows would have the same problem.

In any case, this change should also make it to the trunk, right?

Don't think it's needed on HEAD. As the checkin comment said:

This doesn't appear to be an issue on the HEAD (MSVCCompiler initializes
itself via __init__() on the HEAD).

I verified by building Zope with unaltered HEAD too, and had no problem with that.
