Win32/mingw build issues with e3ce0c30798b?

[Jon]

I suspect this is my system setup issue as I've just upgraded to Python 2.6.3, but want to double check while I'm trying to figure out the issue.

What's worked for me in the past is that I keep up with the stable repo tip by downloading the archive to my Win32 system and compiling with mingw with a custom setup.cfg.  I'm now getting the following when trying "./setup.py build" from a msys shell using e3ce0c30798b:

[..snip..]
copying hgext\zeroconf\__init__.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\hgext\zeroconf
running build_ext
building 'mercurial.base85' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat


..and my custom distutils config created next to hg's setup.py file...

# setup.cfg
[build_ext]
inplace=1
compiler=mingw32


Given the setup.py is from 8/6 it's unlikely this is the issue.  The mention of "vcvarsall.bat" is concerning as it indicates distutils thinks it should setup an MS compiler eventhough I'm using mingw.

Anyone else seeing this?
