Thanks, that should get us one step closer to a successful win32 
packaging run on the py3.5 branch.
I hope those files are no longer needed, we will see tonight

Yes, it is worth updating to 5.7.1. How much memory does the buildslave 
have? The buildslave uses the Microsoft Python Tools for Python 2.7 
compiler bundle. Perhaps it needs more memory than the Visual Studio 9.0 
compiler I am using, and so requires more than 8GB?
