[python-win32] Problem with installer for pywin32 with Python 2.5

There's a problem with Python 2.5 (http://www.python.org/sf/1465834)
which means that installers with preinstall scripts don't work. The
pywin32 build 208 installer is one such (I reported this as bug
1465566 before I realised this was a Python bug).

The preinstall script seems only to be used to detect old
Wise-installer versions, which are pretty old by now. Is there any
chance of a temporary version of the installer without the preinstall
script, just for use with the Python 2.5a1 release? I tried building
one for myself, but I'm missing some critical dependencies (dsound.h?)

Paul.
