I saw those issues before (for 0.10 even), but not consistantly, so I agree
reverting is not really a fix.

I am not sure it is even due to distutils, TBH. I have noticed those issues
in other (non python) packages, it may be a hard limitation of the DOS
subsystem, in which case we're clearly in trouble :)

I will try to make some experiments next week with dumy project having
thousand of files to reproduce the issue easily.
