I removed them manually before it would build correctly as there were a few
changes which had fixed the footprint wizards. The PyCrust console still
hangs when focused on a new build.

I have renamed this to stop it loading, and this means the interactive

debug build of Python-a-mingw-us to see what's going on with that module.
