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

[Éric Araujo]

Well, this is the bug tracker for the stdlib.  We have first to define clearly what the bug is, then find how to fix it in packaging (the name of distutils2 merged into 3.3), then decide whether to backport it to distutils.  Half-tested recipes to work-around the bug on unpatched versions divert attention and are out of place.
