[PyQt] SIP build problem with VS2008 Express Edition

[Darryl Wallace]

I am using an existing commercial license and I had locked down the version
of my development tools (hence, PyQt4.4.4).  I previously used MinGW to
build the libraries (both Qt and PyQt) but I am hoping to get some smaller
binaries for distribution.

You were correct about the deprecated feature. SIP >4.7.x no longer uses
%SIPOptions (which is on line 73 of QtCoremod.sip).

Regardless, that still doesn't explain the odd behaviour of SIP 4.7.9 w.r.t.
error R6034 when built with VS 2008 (especially when 4.8.2 works fine).

I can likely find a work/around.  So far commenting out the line 73 of
QtCoremod.sip allowed it to continue.  I haven't had a chance to fully build
it yet.

Thanks,
Darryl
