[issue13892] distutils handling of windows manifest isn't optimal

Hmm, the cscript.exe point is a valid one. I can think of two things that make my situation different, I will investigate (and post here):

- I started getting the problem when the hosting application (Ambulant multimedia player) switched from VS2008 to VS2010. So maybe cscript.exe is built with 2008, and there the problem is masked?

- My outer plugin (the one for Ambulant) also links against the .pyd (actually, to the .lib corresponding to the .pyd, which results in the .dll having a reference to the .pyd) because I need the various _New and _Convert routines when I call out to Python. I think this is a situation that wouldn't occur in the cscript.exe case.
