* add a --skip-build option to the bdist, bdist_dumb, and bdist_wininst
commands. This is necessary when trying to build on Windows with mingw32
since the plain bdist_* commands will try to rebuild with MSVCCompiler.
I have a patch that seems to work with the dumb formats and Windows
installer. I didn't quite grok the bdist_rpm code, so I don't quite
know how to work it in there.
The patch is attached. I can put it on the Sourceforge Patch Manager
if someone likes.
