[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file (with fix)

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Hi David,

since both you and Pavel are building mysql-python and using
setuptools (which applies a lot of hacks on stock distutils),
could you please also try some other package from PyPI in that
same configuration and preferably one which doesn't rely on
setuptools ?

Adding the switch per default will probably not cause much harm,
except when you explicitly don't want the manifest to be created
and added to the DLL (which is needed in some situations as as well).

Thanks,
