Summary: genpy.py uses codecs mode "wt"

Initial Comment:
The CVS version of genpy.py at line 780 calls codecs.open with a mode of "wt". (I'm not sure why). But the codecs module clumsily forces binary mode when opening -- clumsily, because it simply adds "b" to the mode if it's not there, which results in an invalid mode of "wtb". I'm assuming that this is an error on the pywin32 side, but I'm surprised it hasn't shown up elsewhere.

This showed up, by the way, when I attempted use the msi.py tool to build an MSI from a Python checkout.
