Some help for SF 614770: MSVC 7.0 compiler support
This changes sys.version under Microsoft builds to include the MS compiler
version number (_MSC_VER). Since VC 6 and VC 7 are apparently
incompatible, and both can be installed on a single box, distutils needs
some way to figure out which version of MSVC a given Python was compiled
under.
As also suggested by MvL, got rid of #ifdef'ery for the defunct _M_ALPHA
target.
Bugfix candidate? Hard to say. As far as I'm concerned, VC 7 wasn't
a supported platform in the 2.2 line. If somebody thinks it should be,
they can do the work.
