3 ways of getting rid of C++/win32fe

1. replace c++/win32fe with python/win32fe 
[most of current win32fe functionality would have to be reimplemented
in python - and it should be useable as a standalone utility - similar
to current win32fe]

2. implement similar functionality in buildsystem - and use from a
python builder.py [instead of gnumake] - so its not a standalone tool.

3. somehow spit out a MS project file [similar to cmake].
