[issue4120] Do not embed manifest files in *.pyd when compiling with MSVC

[Thomas Heller]

Thomas Heller <theller at ctypes.org> added the comment:

I'm not sure this issue is really done.  The current state works fine, but there is one problem remaining:

There are Python extensions that seem to need a manifest pointing to the MSVC runtime libs:  dlls that start in-process com servers, like pythoncom.dll (from the PyWin32 extension), and also _ctypes.pyd plays this role.

First question: Open a new issue, or discuss it in this one (and repoen it)?
