The devguide says that Python 2.7 can be build using VS 2010 but it's wrong.

PCbuild/pcbuild.sln starts with:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00

Where 12.00 means Visual Studio 2013.

Replacing 12.00 with 11.00 allows me to open the solution in Visual Studio 2010. So I suggest to make this change.

Note: By the way, why VS wants to build in 32-bit mode by default? It would be nice to switch to 64-bit mode by default!
