exe.manifest

[LawrenceK]

A recent upgrade to something (setuptools or distutils) means that setup.py is also creating a .exe.manifest with the script .exe file that bdist_bbfreeze then attempts to compile. The file is an xml file.

The following patch amends bdist_bbfreeze to only attempt compile of scripts ending in .py or .pyw.
