extra_link_args=['/MANIFEST'] in setup_windows.py

[Thomas Khyn]

Hi there,

Just ran into a small issue when trying to install mysqldb 1.2.5 from source on windows (I'm using zc.buildout for dependencies management in dev and deployment, so can't use the windows installer) and python 2.7.

The issue was related to a manifest file not generated, described in an old python bug report here http://bugs.python.org/issue4431. This discussion provides a way to solve it: I simply had to modify setup_windows.py and add extra_link_args=['/MANIFEST'] to the ext_options dictionary.

I would also like make a suggestion to add several connector paths in the site.cfg, to handle win32 platforms (with C:\Program Files instead of C:\Program Files (x86) ). So that win32 users would not have to download the archive and edit site.cfg.

I can submit a pull request for these changes, or leave you implement them.

Thanks.

Thomas
