I have the same issue. To be honest it is because I'm using MSVC2010. I know it 
is not a supported platform but the patch to fix the problem is really just the 
following (and it is compatible with MSVC2008):

On a side-note I wrote a CMakeLists.txt for python for windows. I have to say 
it was pretty easy even if I'm not building everything (I left out tcl/tk and 
bsddb). I would hope python in the future could use a more flexible way if 
being built. For reference, I copy here the cmakelists.txt.
