The latest version of Mingw binutils, 2.18.50.20080109, uses a 4-part
version number which distutils does not like (StrictVersion only allows
for 3 parts).

The attached patch fixes this, simply by using LooseVersion (the version
number has already been checked to be a series of numbers in the regex
check just previous).

Can this be fixed for 2.6/3.0, as it is likely that the new binutils
will become common while these versions of Python are current?

Amaury, if you are going to look at this you might want to see #2234.

Yes, this problem is a duplicate of #2234, for which I had a very
similar fix.
Thanks!
