Indeed, this is possible. I don't know of anybody who does so, so far, but in principle, the procedure is described in PCbuild/readme.txt. In essence, you install the platform SDK and vsextcomp, and then build the ReleaseAMD64 solution setting.

I do this for ActivePython builds... by setting up the Platform SDK compiler I want in the environment and then using:

devenv.com .../pcbuild.sln /useenv /build Release
