Hi Dan,

Yes Windows does not like these double quotes in the filename.  For 
example, on the same build machine (and same python) here is the 
compiler output:

MS 5.4.2 (valid filename):

creating 
'D:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2008\mapserver-5.4.2\mapscript\python\dist\mapscript-5.4.2.win32.zip'

MS trunk (invalid filename):

creating 
'D:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2008\mapserver-5.6.0_beta1\mapscript\python\dist\MapScript-"5.6.0-beta1".win32.zip'


But I don't know where these new quotes are coming from.  ???
