Installation failure on Windows Vista

When I attempt install PyRabj, which apparently has jsonlib2 as a
dependency for some reason, I get the following errors and the installation
fails.

OS: Windows Vista Home

Compiler Version 15.00.30729.01 for 80x86

Oops, sorry about the extra copy of the bad installation attempt in the 
original report.

Attached is a patch which fixes the compiler dependencies.  GCC still issues a
warning about the use of %r in a format string, but that is in the original 
code, not
something the patch introduced.  

It compiles with Visual Studio 9.0's C compiler as well as GCC 3.4.4, but 
haven't
done much more testing than that so far.

Patch confirmed to work on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with VS2008.  I'll be testing 
gcc 4.x 
on Fedora 12 and FreeBSD 8.  Are there other platforms/compilers that need to 
be tested 
before the patch gets integrated?

Works on the default Python (2.6.2) on Fedora 12 x86_64 with gcc version 4.4.3 
20100127 
(Red Hat 4.4.3-4) (GCC).  Didn't work with ActivePython 2.6.5, seemed to 
install to the 
wrong directory (same dir as the system default Python).  I'm not sure if 
that's an 
ActivePython issue or not.

Here's a version that compiles with VS  (it uses C89 instead of C99).
