This is the one I'm using:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>cl /?
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 15.00.30729.01
for 80x86

I'm not really sure whether that is 2008 or something older. I do see
that I have a beta version of VS 10.


Manifests should generally be bundled with the dlls they are associated
with. *However* there is a way to tell the linker/compiler/whatever to
embed the manifest into the dll itself.

I don't remember how to do it, but I do remember running into it.

And when I run "py setup.py build_ext -i" this is what I see:

So we are already calling "mt.exe -manifest".

My guess is that, no, we don't need to include the .xml file because we
are already bundling the manifest into the .pyd file.
