Interesting - I'm really confused how the 32 bit version for 3.2 failed 
to build correctly!

The Windows SDK (and I assume VC - haven't checked) comes with a 
"manifest tool" - mt.exe.  The syntax is fairly obscure, but it allows 
you to extract, change and add manifests (but not remove them AFAIK). 
Note the manifest ID for DLLs is 2 - so the command to extract would be 
something like:

mt.exe -inputresource:path\to\whatever.pyd;#2 -out:out.txt

HTH,
