[f2py] Location of vcvarsall.bat on Windows

Hey everyone,

I've followed f2py's example instructions to a T, and figure out this error:
"error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" (more f2py output is below)

I wrestled with this for several hours over the weekend. Went out got
the contents of vcvarsall.bat, but now I just can't figure out what's
calling it and where it should be.

-I've tried C:\Python26\scripts, several gfortran directories,
C:\...\Visual Studio\vc, etc
-I'm on Python 2.6 with a fresh intallation of Numpy and gfortan
(started fresh on Friday)
-calling f2py without any arguments confirms that it's installed correctly

Any thoughts? Any help is very much appreciated.
