[AstroPy] PyWCS build failure on Windows 7 EPD -Similar

[Rahul Patel]

This is similar to a post back on Apr 4 2011, about problems with PyWCS
failing to build on win 7 with EPD. The difference is I'm using

Python 2.6.6 , EPD 6.3-2 (32-bit).

I saw the patch you provided the previous user, but am unsure if that
applies to my situation or how I would actually apply it.

When I type and run "run setup.py install" in IPython, in the directory
"C:\Python26\pywcs-1.10-4.7\" I get the following:

run setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
copying lib\svn_version.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\pywcs
running build_ext

Thank you very much
Rahul.
