+Improved support for Microsoft Visual C++ compilers.
+
+Known supported compilers:
+--------------------------
+Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0:
+    Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 (x86, amd64)
+    Microsoft Windows SDK 6.1 (x86, x64, ia64)
+    Microsoft Windows SDK 7.0 (x86, x64, ia64)
+
+Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0:
+    Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (x86, x64, ia64)
+
+Microsoft Visual C++ 14.X:
+    Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 (x86, x64, arm)
+    Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 (x86, x64, arm, arm64)
+    Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 (x86, x64, arm, arm64)
+
+This may also support compilers shipped with compatible Visual Studio versions.
