Summary: wininst.exe missing in Windows installer

Initial Comment:
The wininst.exe file is missing in the Windows binary 
distribution. This file must be in the 
Lib/distutils/command directory, and is needed by the 
bdist_wininst command. Previously (Python 2.2) the 
bytes of this file were literally contained as a base64 
encoded string in the module itself.

I attached a patch for the WISE script which should 
work, but it is untested. You should probably also delete 
all but the last chunk from the patch, these seem to be 
specific for my machine, and the WISE version I have.

Thanks!  Done.  There's no need for a patch here, just tell me 
the name of the file, and where you want it installed.

It would be good if *something* in the std test suite checked 
for the existence of necessary files.  I run all the tests from a 
fresh installation before releasing an installer, so the only way 
a file can "turn up missing" in a release is if nothing in the 
test suite cares if it's missing.
