This is not the case. I'm not at all clear what specific files are
being requested. So I'm unable to comply with this request as I
still don't understand it. FWIW, I have currently 108 PDB files
in my Python build area - I don't assume that people want me to upload
all of them (and it would be much too tedious to do so).

If a patch would be provided that zipped up (say) all stuff that
needs to be zipped up, and put that next to the MSI file, that
would be very much appreciated.
