Summary: 2.4 msi installer installs too many files

Initial Comment:
The msi installer installs the directory
Lib/distutils/test/build and it's subdirs, at least if
they are present on the system where the msi is built.

Maybe the distutils/build directory was created because I
ran the tests in it, or maybe by other things.

I'm lazy and normally build releases from the sandbox where
I usually work in, instead of  from a fresh checkout.

Closing as won't fix.

Why would there be any directories in test/build? The
installer picks up all directories in Lib, except for
directories named CVS or starting with plat-. This
simplifies maintenance, as it removes the need to explicitly
change the installer every time a new Python packages is
added to Lib.
