The patch is really trivial, but I'll test it on a Windows x86
installation as well today.

Would be great if we could get someone else test it on their
Windows x64 system.

It's strange that noone has noticed this problem while Python 2.6
was out. I know that Martin uses a cross-compiling setup to create
the 64-bit installers, so he wouldn't have noticed, but others
should have seen similar problems, trying to compile extensions
on Windows x64.

I guess most people still use the 32-bit Python installers on Windows
x64 systems.
