The underlying problem is that you don't have mingw in your PATH (you
should be able to run gcc from the command line). I don't know yet why
with python 2.6 the error is not explicit (with 2.5, you get a failure
later, and you know it is because gcc.exe is not found). Adding
mingw\bin into your PATH should solve the problem.
I can't spend much time on this ATM, but for the record, the problem is
in distutils.command.config.
