-To use these, create a new directory (I called it "pcbuild") in the
-Python source directory, and copy the files from vc5x there. Then
-simply open the pcbuild.dsw workspace file with Developer Studio.
-Select the Debug configuration (use Set Active Configuration... in the
-Build menu) and build the python15 and python projects (in that

-the _tkinter project.
