It removes the dependency from msi.py making it easier to do the rest in subsequent patches.

What rest specifically? Why are the msilib changes needed for that?

The rest is to use ctypes, so that no external packages will be required to build Python installer.

Ah. That shouldn't be done. If anything is to be done, the builtin msilib can be considered, instead. Given the choice of using either ctypes or an external package, I prefer the external package. http://codereview.appspot.com/4080047/
