Could msvc9compiler_stripruntimes.diff still be considered for inclusion in Python 2.6.3 (high priority?)? A lot of .pyd's of third-party extensions are getting dependencies on MSVCR90 added to the .pyd, which makes them not work if the runtimes are not installed into the WinSxS folder and/or when embedding into other applications. For example, PIL encountered this problem recently. In essence, all Windows Python extensions built using setup.py build_ext encounter this problem. What the patch does is edit the manifest file to remove only the dependency on Microsoft.VC90.CRT.
