Before I'd like some questions to be answered, probably Martin or Tim
have an opinion here (but others are also invited).

First, I hope that it's ok to build the installer with the VC6 SP5 dlls.
The other possibility that comes to mind is to not include *any* MS
runtime dlls, and provide the MS package VCREDIST.EXE separately.

Second, what about the filename / version number / build number?

IMO one should be able to distinguish the new installer from the old
one. The easiest thing would be to just change the filename into maybe
Python-2.3.2.1.exe.
