[issue13320] _remove_visual_c_ref in distutils.msvc9compiler causes DLL load fail with embedded Python and multiple CRT versions

[Mark Hammond]

I can't explain why this might be happening given the Python dll is still build against vc9 - I'm guessing this can't be reproduced without vs10 in the mix?

Re making the feature optional - distutils doesn't really lend itself to customizing the compiler best I can tell - the only answer I know of here is to provide your own compiler sub-class and override manifest_get_embed_info to return the manifest filename.
