FWIW, the problem in the original post is that '-DMODULE_VERSION="1.0.5"' is not quoted by distutils and the quotes are eaten. This can be fixed by specifying '-DMODULE_VERSION=\"1.0.5\"'. There are no spaces in the argument, so the problem is that cl.exe eats unescaped quotes, not that we aren't automatically changing users arguments.
