I guessed that and tried it:

c:\dev\gdal\swig\python>python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible 
binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin 
installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

i.e., it ends in the same error as with build but giving -c mingw32 does 
not help here and the files are not really installed.
