	Are you willing to buy compilers for all those folks providing
pre-built Windows binaries for Python extensions? Most times, those
extensions have to use the very same C-runtime as was used in the main
program build to ensure API compatibility (changes in I/O control blocks
is one danger).

	There was much moaning when Python moved away from VC 6; pretty much
forced to move as a download for VC 6 was no longer available.
