MS Windows, Python and Digital Forensics woes

Since Vista comes it turns out that it is impossible to compile and add into Python on windows essential libraries like libewf  It is very frustrating and senseless , but this is MS way of things ..
It boils down to undocumented features and behaviour of required low level windows calls and instrumentation. My colleague Jakob spend a lot of time to try and test all available compiling procedures but nothing worked in the end. It all worked once in 2009 and earlier but not today.
This event troubles us a because of planned training propositions, since we have to introduce additional unix topics  where tools work as it is supposed to work.
