Never mind this question.  Somebody here noticed this item on the menu:  Start->All \
Programs->Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 ->Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt

This runs a batch job that appears to set up a working environment for the compiler.  \
From that prompt, you can type "setup.py build" or "setup.py install".
