It's been possible to compile distutils extensions with the VS 2003 toolkit for far longer than it's possible to compile Python itself: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/

Sure: with distutils modifications.

In fact, it would be great if the patches provided here were reviewed and integrated into the official Python distutils.

Something like this should already be in Python 2.5. I just haven't tested it in this configuration.
