[Image-SIG] Windows CRT issues with Python 2.6

[Fredrik Lundh]

I've replaced the 1.1.6 binary at effbot.org/downloads with one built
under 2.6.2.  The installer is 130k larger thanks to a 3x larger
wininst executable (!?), but the binary extensions are slightly
smaller than before, so I'll assume it's the manifests that have
disappeared.
