As a workaround, this is what worked for me:

pull in the master of python-crfsuite (or a certain tag if that’s important for you)
make sure you pull in the submodules too
edit crfsuite/include/os.h and remove the line with #define snprintf _snprintf
now run pip install C:\users\whatever\path\to\python-crfsuite (effectively installing it from the locally cloned repository)

The workaround mentioned by @PMeira (adding a < 1900) didn’t work for me, even though I have VS2015 installed (which should map to MSC_VER 1900).
