 As I wrote there:
 > I think we should simply release pycryptopp 0.7.2. The long version
 string is just not worth the hassle. Yes, Windows is broken, but neither
 Windows nor setuptools are going to get unbroken any time soon (and
 neither is Python 2.x going to get a workaround to convert to and from the
 "`\\?\`" long path prefix in all Win32 API calls that use paths, which
 would be the only practical alternative).
