Subject: Bug in build_ext.py

In the last CVS version of build_ext.py you changed the   
get_libraries function to read:

  if sys.platform == "win32":
     from distutils.msvccompiler import MSVCCompiler
     if not isinstance(self.compiler, MSVCCompiler):
         template = "python%d%d"

It also needs an else assocated with the "if not 
isinstance"         
   else:
       return ext.libraries 

Otherwise if an installer has defined their own
compiler (or is 
not using MSVC I suppose) then none of the libraries are 
passed to the link stage - I discovered this with the 
WxPython modules.  The previous version of build_ext used 
to fallout the bottom with the "return ext.libraries"
while with 
the current version you get a 'None' if Win32 and NOT MSVC

Cheers
