Summary: anchor=False needed for FileList.include_pattern

Initial Comment:
While searching for "pythonwin\pywin\*.cfg", this is done in convert_data_files: ("file" here is "pythonwin\pywin\*.cfg")

flist.findall(os.path.dirname(file))     ( == flist.findall("pythonwin\pywin"))

...which populates flist.allfiles with lots of stuff beginning "pythonwin\pywin", then

flist.include_pattern(os.path.basename(file))     ( == flist.include_pattern("*.cfg"))

... is presumably meant to pick out all the .cfg files, but the docs for FileList.include_pattern are quite clear:

If 'anchor' is true (the default), then the pattern match is more
stringent: "*.py" will match "foo.py" but not "foo/bar.py".  If
'anchor' is false, both of these will match.

...so either anchor=False is required, or the call to os.path.basename can be removed (unless recursion is required, but I only saw .cfg files in pythonwin\pywin).
