The omniORB (C++) distribution comes with a README.win32.txt file, that, 
among other stuff contains the following:
   ...
   Building omniORB from the source files
   ======================================
   ...
   ... Alternatively, you can download a cutdown version from:
     http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/att_packages/gnu-win32-lite.zip
   The utilities in this version are all you need to build omniORB.
   ...
   D. Building and installing
   --------------------------

   ...

I would have assumed that you need the same tools to build omniORBpy, 
but I have never built neither of the two myself, so I may be wrong.
