Hi Marc,I am pretty sure it helped on my particular configuration.
I was trying to compile MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz package from source and it
was failing in mt.exe step because the manifest file was not there.
I didn't do anything special on my machine. I have 3 versions of MSVS
installed cleanly side-by-side (which is a legit scenario): MSVS 2003, MSVS
2005, and MSVS 2008. All at the latest patch levels. No standalone
PlatformSDKs are installed.
Besides, if you just ignore the obscure blurb about /MANIFEST option being
default in MSDN, and read the descriptions of both /MANIFEST and
/MANIFESTFILE options, you would agree that it will not do any harm to be
explicit and always have /MANIFEST option passed to linker.
I'm going to do one more experiment with a different machine, this time it
will be Vista (not W7) with a similar MSVS setup. I will report my findings.

</div>Are you sure ?<br>
<br>
We've had such a request before and the reason for MSVC not generating<br>
a .manifest file was some setting the user had done on his system.<br>
<br>
FWIW: distutils generates those files just fine for me.<br>
<br>
Then again, it probably doesn't hurt just adding the option.<br>
