Guys, vcvarsall.bat is not just about registry. It also adds include
paths and some other environment variables (even modifies it if they
already exists).

It may happens that there are scripted build steps in projects that
depends on that _standard_ environment. That's why I've hacked original
vstudio.py to use proper way for getting compiler shell.

If you want "sane" solution that will work as expected for all projects,
the only way to set environment is to call vcvarsall.bat (or emulate
everything it have, that is error prone).
