For practicality's sake I'd very much like to help get this to the point where you can build Python and extensions with the VS Express compilers (including, critically, the pywin32 stuff).

Pywin32 needs MFC (and at one stage, ATL, although I think that was a mistake and has been fixed). As far as I know, the Express edition doesn't include MFC or ATL - VS 2005 Express certainly didn't.
