Hi All,

I just built mysql-python against CPython2.7 MSVC2008 Express Edition and Server 2003 R2.  All were freshly built on a clean Server 2003 install.  This exact issue occurred building with pip 0.8.1 on top of distribute 0.6.14:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe -nologo -manifest build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_mysql.pyd.manifest -outputresource:build\lib.win32-2.7\_mysql.pyd;2

build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_mysql.pyd.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.

error: command 'mt.exe' failed with exit status 31

----------------------------------------
Command C:\Python27\python.exe -c "import  setuptools;__file__='C:\\Documents and  Settings\\Administrator\\build\\mysql-python\\setup.py';execfile(__file__)" install --single-version-externally-managed --record c:\docume~1\admini~1\locals~1\temp\pip-qqb1ax-record\install-record.txt failed with error code 1

Pavel's patch fixes my build.  Does this patch break something else?  I can reproduce this on 2.7 and 2.6.6.
