[issue6040] bdist_msi does not deal with pre-release version

[anatoly techtonik]

The above workaround still doesn't isolate version modification to bdist_msi command, because bdist_msi is calling `build` and `install` targets before doing its own stuff.

Any ideas how to override version for MSI without copying while `bdist_msi` contents?

Definitely something to think about in distutils2.
