Summary: compilation error with python 2.4.4 and VC6

Initial Comment:
I need to compile a python version using VC 6. Building pywin32-210 with this python-2.4.4 I get an error message:

  win32\src\PyWinTypes.h(323) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PIO_COUNTERS'

Kind regards
Berthold

My python is build using VC6, but in fact everything is working now after
I installed the latest MSDK.

Only the official compiler used to build python is supported - so python
2.4 must be built with VC7.  I'd be happy to accept patches if you get it
building - please open a patch in that case.
