#42555 — distutils without a compiler

Is there a neat way to get distutils to report compiler absence? Most windows 
users don't have a compiler so building extensions usually doesn't work.

However, python's builtin batteries would allow pre-built pyds to be downloaded 
in lieu of an actual build.

Has anyone created a fallback download compiler or similar?
