My experience is that for VS2008 at least, the /MANIFESTFILE: option seems to be ignored if there is nothing to put in the manifest, and this tends to be true if you use a static CRT instead of the DLL based one (ie, if you use /MT)

Issue 7833 has a patch designed to both (a) remove the manifest entirely if the only assembly reference is to the CRT and (b) give the setup.py author finer control over this behaviour.
