Summary: msi installers for sourceforge releases.

Initial Comment:
Distributing the distutils produced installer in the msi format would be extremely useful, especially for remote deployment scenarios. It would simply require using the bdist_msi flag when building the installer.

(I tried doing it myself, but building pywin32 for python 2.5 when you don't have the environment set up properly can take some time.. I'm still trying, but hoping the dev-team can do it faster :D )
