I second this--I had to add the following post-build steps to my scripts:
cd sipgen
mt.exe -manifest sip.exe.manifest -outputresource:sip.exe;1
cd ..
cd siplib
mt.exe -manifest sip.pyd.manifest -outputresource:sip.pyd;2
cd ..

"exe" and the ;2 means "dll.")
Might be worth incorporating to make people's lives easier on MSVC2008.
