I'm not trying this, but I'd like to be able to do it.  Installing Visual as instructed leads to yet another installation of Python on my system.  ( I know, disks are huge, but it seems so silly.)  I use MacPorts for a couple of packages and the general statement from both fink and MacPorts is don't use Fink and MacPorts at the same time (even though they install in different paths), so the Fink package isn't particularly helpful.  If we figure out how to compile against some other python than MacPython, then we can make a MacPorts package and folks will have one more option for installation.
