[PyQt] SIP build problem with VS2008 Express Edition

[Demetrius Cassidy]

Itt works fine with VS2008 Professional edition - at least on the latest 
builds. I'm sorry to say that I've never seen that error, but it sounds 
more like maybe you need to re-install the latest C++ redist package 
than a problem with PyQt4.
