not required anymore in Python 2.6.2. This will leave Python 2.6.1 as

On the other hand, I would like to incorporate your fixes for Python 2.6
but we need to find a better way of doing it.
First question: if you *don't* add the msvc*90.dll and the manifest to
the a.binaries list, but you simply copy them like this:
YourProgram.exe <- made by PyInstaller
Microsoft.VC90.CRT\
msvcr90.dll
msvcp90.dll
etc.
so *without* copying the manifest, does it work?
