Build warning on win32: unrecognized option '/mwindows'; ignored

It looks like I've successfully built the latest MPL svn (rev 3273) with
the latest WxPython 2.8.4.0 in Python 2.5.1 on win32 using MSVC 7.1.
Lots of (what I take it aren't important) type conversion warnings
came up, but this warning stood out:

    Creating library build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\src\_windowing.lib and object build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\src\_windowing.exp

Is this important? MPL seems to work fine. I compiled using:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force

I've got the win32_static folder in my MPL root, extracted from
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static_vs.tar.gz, and I've
overwritten all the wxPython lib and header files there with those in
the latest wxPython2.8-win32-devel-2.8.4.0.tar.bz2

Cheers,
