Its really not that difficult to do. Ive compiled it many times before using vistual studio without any issues. Just follow the directions here: link text.

Its pretty straightforward, just read through the well documented makefile.vc and set the appropriate directories, notably the python one. Once its built you should have a python module built which you can then copy to your python installation, which ive always done maually, but there is probably a more approriate method.
