[zeromq-dev] Compile pyzmq on Windows

[Christoph Buelter]

Hey thanks for answering. Forgot to mention, yes I do use Windows 7 and 
have the Windows 7.0 SDK installed.

I stumbled upon that, but the problem is I am stuck on the Python and VS 
versions since I want to compile pyzmq for usage within 3ds Max 2015, 
which uses those versions. I came across this trick to make Python 2.7.3 
work with a newer VS version by using an environment var:

I might also not have the exact Service Pack for VS 2012 that I need 
(based on 
http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2015/ENU/?guid=__files_GUID_6E179A56_5552_4D0B_BA61_BBD37B9E52DB_htm) 
so I will update and try again.
