Functions test_uninstall.test_uninstall and test_uninstall.test_remove_issue were disabled for win32. Upon enabling them they generated failures.

I have worked up a patch that refactors a packaging.Distribution function _get_records from using a generator to returning a list. The generator function was holding open the RECORD file that it is trying to delete, resulting in failure.

I've tried to follow the protocol for a distutils2 patch as shown here (http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/Contributing) so hopefully I've got this remote repository pointing correct.
