Installation on Windows fail (MSVC 9.0)

[sa3mlk]

Is there any plans to support installation on Windows?

PIP fail with this error message:

I have the complete pip.log (28KiB zipped) if you want to examine it further.

My experience with Windows is minimal. I would be happy to help out someone who wants to tackle it by describing as much of I know of the (particularly annoying) build/link process for this package, however.
