[issue7833] Bdist_wininst installers fail to load extensions built with Issue4120 patch

[Christoph Gohlke]

Christoph Gohlke <cgohlke at uci.edu> added the comment:

The proposed patch was meant to be backwards compatible. Unconditionally removing the whole assembly/manifest from extensions could break extensions that have additional dependencies, such as MFC or Common Controls. PyQt4 extensions for example depend on Common Controls. 

Btw, there is a discussion at <http://psycopg.lighthouseapp.com/projects/62710/tickets/20> and <http://groups.google.com/group/modwsgi/browse_thread/thread/137f88ac6927df59> about the need to put the msvcr90 manifest back into the psycopg.pyd file in order to work properly under Apache's mod_wsgi, which is linked against msvcrt.
