How to Compile Mod_Python 3.3.1 for Python 2.6 and Apache 2.2 on Windows?

Question

I have no experience compiling code other than using Visual Studio's Build command. I am hoping we can create a step by step guide for compiling mod_python on windows. Please be as descriptive as possible.

This is what I've done so far:

1. Download and install python 2.6.2
2. Download and install apache 2.2.11
3. Download the most recent source code for mod_python from svn

From here I'm lost to what the next step is. I've downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

As mentioned by Hao I've already tried the tutorial mentioned in that link. Here is the error messages I'm receiving with that tutorial.
