Has anybody successfully managed to build this one?

I have built _QuantLib.pyd for Python 2.5 with Visual Studio 2003, but I am not able to build the same library for Python 2.6

The problem:
Python 2.6 is built with Visual Studio 2008 (i.e. QuantLib_vc9.sln).

I have built QuantLib (0.97) itself with 2008, resulting in QuantLib-vc90-mt-s-0_9_7.lib. This works fine, and I have tried all kinds of versions of boost along side it (1.34.1->1.39.9). There is an error with Boost 1.40 and as such I was not able to try this one with  QuantLib 0.97

The problem appears when trying to build the SWIG wrapper for Python. The paths are set to QL_DIR and boost, but the linker fails when running "setup.py build"

I have tried QuantLib 0.96 as well, but with the same problem. I think it has to do with Visual Studio 2008, and as such just wondering if anyone else has successfully \built this
