If you have MSVC 6.0, just use the Python project that's in the
PCbuild subdir.

This started out with an assert() call in C code with an invalid
argument; since assert() is disabled unless Python is compiled in
debug mode, this wasn't found by the compiler because nobody compiles
the code in debug mode regularly.  So I think we were discussing
compiling C code, not an environment option.
