(Get the code!)
I am not sure what you mean by hacking it, but if you just want to write python code as suggested in the other bug report you refer to, you don't need to recompile igraph at all.
If you want to modify the C code, then I suggest that you download the MSVC zip file of the current release, change the C code in that and then compile it. Probably you can just recompile the C library and then use it with the binary Python igraph installer. You just need to replace the library, that's all. Assuming you don't change the API, of course.
If you also change the C API, then you do need to recompile the Python extension as well, maybe Tamas can help you with that, he does it for the igraph releases.
But whichever of these you want, you don't need the development version of igraph.
