http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/fallback_build.bat could 
perhaps be usefull. Credit must be given to Frank, because I just read that 
suggestion in the following thread :

http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-dev/2011-September/001430.html

Or you could use a more modern version of python, that would like VC 2008, 
instead of the one bundled with OSGeo4W. 

Otherwise you might consider using http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ that has 
binary builds with a lot of dependencies and that support various python 
versions (>=2.6), and also the -sdk to redo/customize the build yourself if 
needed.
