Summary: Patch to fix error running makepy.py

Initial Comment:
Hi

When running makepy.py to try and speed up COM access
to ADO, received the following error in selecttlb.py:

win32com\client>makepy.py "Microsoft ActiveX Data
Objects 2.7 Library"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "win32com\client\makepy.py", line 369, in ?
    rc = main()
  File "win32com\client\makepy.py", line 362, in main
    GenerateFromTypeLibSpec(arg, f, verboseLevel =
verboseLevel, bForDemand = bForDemand, bBuildHidden =
hiddenSpec)
  File "win32com\client\makepy.py", line 215, in
GenerateFromTypeLibSpec
    typelibs = GetTypeLibsForSpec(typelibInfo)
  File "win32com\client\makepy.py", line 157, in
GetTypeLibsForSpec
    tlbs = selecttlb.FindTlbsWithDescription(arg)
  File "win32com\client\selecttlb.py", line 127, in
FindTlbsWithDescription
    items = EnumTlbs()
  File "win32com\client\selecttlb.py", line 119, in
EnumTlbs
    spec.ver_desc = tlbdesc + " (" + version + ")"
TypeError: unsupported operand types for +: 'NoneType'
and 'str'

Unfortunately am remote and cannot debug what entry in
the registry caused this, but created a patch to ignore
such an error, and have attached it here (this is from
win32all-162.exe, which contains the latest CVS version)

Instead of exiting, it prints "TypeError" and the
parameters, and continues...

Fixed, but in a slightly different way.
