[pycrypto] chmod error in Windows 7, when trying to install

[nod at nym.hush.com]

I created a binary installer for the latest version of pycrypto if 
you would like it, let me know. If you don't trust meh bits(lul) 
then I have these notes from when I compiled pycrypto on windows:

Download the MinGW installer here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-
inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/
Delete all references to -mno-cygwin in distutils\cygwinccompiler.py

>From within the pycrypto folder run: python setup.py build -c 
mingw32
Then run: python setup.py bdist_wininst
You will now have a compiled binary in: dist 

Run the binary on your host your ant pycrypto on and you should be 
all set.
