[issue10945] bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows

[Ralf Schlatterbeck]

Ralf Schlatterbeck <rsc at runtux.com> added the comment:

I've just been bitten by this when trying to do a new release of roundup, why not make the mbcs codec available on non-windows platforms as has been proposed (and rejected) in issue1251921 -- any non-technical reasons for not including this codec on other platforms?
