[omniORB] Trying 4.1.7 on Visual Studio 12

[James Kulp]

I figured I would give this a try on WIndows 7 and Visual Studio 12.0 
(2013). (setting the platform to vs10).

There is some sort of python library issue (below).
The symbols in question are in the python27.lib which is referenced on 
the link line, but not with the __imp__ prefix.
(using dumpbin /exports).
I'm no WIndows or Python expert at all.  I tried two different 
precompiled python packages for windows, with the same error.
I have not yet tried building python from source on VS12.
I did notice that several of the "libpath" entries point to places that 
don't exist in python2.7, like "python27\lib\x86_win32" and 
"python27\PCBuild".

Any ideas?

Here are the errors:
