by bdist_wininst *must* use the same runtime libary as the Python
version.
Actually this means the Python version where the installer is run, not
the one which is used to build it. Must think about that - for now I
assume MSVC6 is used up to Python 2.3, and MSVC7.1 is used starting at
Python 2.4.
So the filename for wininst.exe is now wininst-6.exe for the Release
version and wininst-6_d.exe for the Debug version, when built with
MSVC6.
Changed the MSVC project file to create the exe in the
lib/distutils/command directory, bdist_wininst.py must still be
changed to use it.
Also changed to use the same zlib as the zlib module - this has the nice
sideeffect that now the buggy 1.1.3 version is no longer used.
Most of the source files now conform to PEP 7, except for the maximum
line length. Windows api programming in 78 character lines =:(.
README.txt is a new file, but still empty except for placeholders.
