A 4 year old compiler?

I also have MSVC11 installed. Can the python project add support for
that so that we aren't waiting 5 years between compiler support?

Compilers aren't like milk. They don't go off after a few weeks. A good 
compiler/operating system combination should still be usable after 4 or 
14 years. The compiler I'm using is six years old, and I expect that it 
will continue to get patches and upgrades without breaking backwards 
compatibility for the next six years.

Are you volunteering to provide that support? I'm sure it would be 
appreciated.


P.S. Please don't top-post.
