Steve Dower added the comment:

/MANIFEST is probably assumed on VC9 since the CRT required it, but that was 
probably changed for VC10 without updating the documentation fully. Frankly I'd 
rather remove the MANIFESTFILE property added by distutils, since it doesn't 
add anything of value (on my test machine, it only requests an execution level 
of asInvoker, which is the default).

That way people can include useful manifests with their source if necessary and 
provide both the /MANIFEST and /MANIFESTFILE flags themselves, and we reduce 
the amount of code in the stdlib.
