Cosimo Lupo c3540e2b7a [setup.py] use MSVC 10.0 when compiling for Windows Python 2.7
Python 2.7 for Windows is compiled using MS Visaul C++ 9.0 (Visual Studio 2008).
However the latter does not support many modern C++ features which are
required to compile the Brotli encoder. So we monkey-patch distutils
to always look for MSVC version 10.0 instead of 9.0.

brotli

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
