The issue is that projects want to generate MSIs for pre- and post-release versions.  As Martin said, there is an MSI limitation here (that should be documented in distutils doc).

I see two issues with munging the version number:

1) Both Twisted 2.0+r42 and Twisted 2.0 generate twisted-2.0.msi (filename simplified for the discussion), which will surely be confusing for humans and programs.

2) Does the MSI system allow people to go from 2.0+r42 to 2.0 if each of them is in a file named twisted-2.0.msi?
