Ivan,

Yes, that one.

I configured Buildbot according Tamas' instructions and here you can see
that GDAL tests, Python scripts, run with GDAL built using VC++ 8.0
under Windows:

- the builder
http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/szekerest-vc80-quick

- the test run
http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/szekerest-vc80-quick/builds/53/step-test/0


The trick includes two steps:

1. Add manifest location to the PATH:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\redist\amd64\Microsoft.VC80.CRT;

2. Run Python using absolute path:

C:\Python24_x64\python.exe run_all.py

The paths above are for VC++ 8.0 on x64 Windows, becuase
the szekerest-vc80-gdal builder is hosted on x64, but it should be easy
to change them to x86 version.
