Ah, now I understand.
I didn't even know that it was possible to use
--target-version and --skip-build to build installers for
other Python versions, but this is definitely cool.

I checked in your patch to make sure it gets into 2.4a1.
Your idea to specify an executable makes sense, but imo only
when 2.4 is an old version, isn't it?  Feel free to provide
an additional patch for that, but I think one should still
be able to use '2.3' as argument for the --target-version
switch.

BTW: The short variant of the --target-version switch (-v)
conflicts with the --verbose option and doesn't work, so I'm
taking this out as well.

Checked in as bdist_wininst.py rev 1.49.
