Summary: still can\'t build pywin32-214 from source (alas!)

Initial Comment:
I downloaded mapilib.i from http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/com/win32comext/mapi/src/

I deleted and then unzipped pywin32-214.zip, copied mapilib.i and retried \"python setup.py install\".  It gets much further but now fails at:

E:\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\BIN\\nmake.exe /nologo /f makefile_pythonwin SUB_DIR_O=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla SUB_DIR_BIN=c:\\pywin32-214\\build\\temp.win32-2.7\\Release\\scintilla DIR_PYTHON=c:\\p\\python-2.7
	c:\\p\\python-2.7\\tools\\scripts\\h2py.py Include\\scintilla.h
# Generated by h2py from stdin
	c:\\p\\python-2.7\\tools\\scripts\\h2py.py Include\\scilexer.h
# Generated by h2py from stdin
	type scintilla.py > ..\\pywin\\scintilla\\scintillacon.py
The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: \'type\' : return code \'0x1\'
Stop.
error: command \'nmake.exe\' failed with exit status 2

I attach the build log and a system info dump.  I noticed a bunch of warnings: \"WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0600 (Windows Vista)\".  In fact this is Windows/XP SP3 in a VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... "uploaded files must be no larger than 256K".  I'm deleting the beginning to comply.

oops ... nope, it seems to be unable to find "scintilla.py".

Message:
Aha!  There's a bug in
c:/pywin32-214/pythonwin/Scintilla/makefile_pythonwin: line 49 has 4 spaces
instead of a tab before the "type" command (nmake is like Unix make,
requires a tab).
