[python-win32] pywin32 setup.py forgets win32/lib

[Christian Tismer]

Hi Mark and friends,

for a customer, I had to build pywin32 with VS2010, and when it finally
worked after some changes from https://wiki.python.org/moin/VS2010,
I still could not run

     import win32con

I tried to find out why, to no success. I examined some older 
installation logs
on my machine, and the installation of win32/lib was in fact done correctly.

With the recent setuptools (tested with 1.2.1 and 1.3.2), the 'py_modules'
entry of setup.py seems to be ignored.

After pulling hair until I became almost bald, I ended up with the following
patch to pywin32 version 217 (218 does not work for me, missing files):

Here is the patch if it makes sense to submit it here:

Subject: [PATCH] add win32/lib files.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This seems to be an incompatibility with recent setuptools. (tested 
1.1.6 and 1.3.2)
Should be investigated further who has a bug here…
