It is not.

Hum, it seems to be there now. I swear I checked it a few hours ago
and it wasn't.

The bigger problem is that .pyd files are coming out with the
extension .so instead:

msvc.link.dll ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\test\polymorphism2.test\msvc-8.0\debug\polymorphism2_ext.so ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\test\polymorphism2.test\msvc-8.0\debug\polymorphism2_ext-vc80-d-1_33.lib ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\python\test\polymorphism2.test\msvc-8.0\debug\polymorphism2_ext.rsp

And then manifest generation fails.
