While I agree in principle, I need to build httpd and subversion to work with Trac (trac.edgewall.org) which is currently limited to python < 3.0 (I use 2.7 also). For this to work properly my understanding is that httpd and python (and svn) all need to use the same compiler libraries and Python 2.7 is built using Visual C++ 2008...
So the 2008 stuff is not completely irrelevant (I got it compiling and making the python bindings). I have some notes but they are not really fit for publication and are for VC2008 but I can share them if you think they would be useful.
