[feature-request] VBox Windows Installer should check for python version

Description
Host: Windows (all), VBox 4.0.4
VBox currently installs python bindings even on buggy python modules. (python 2.5.1 and pywin32 v213)
- in "vboxshell.py" terminal colors on Windows Vista/7 must be disabled by default, and it is a known python bug, checking for python version fixes garbage on those platforms
- We must check for pywin32 version. v213 is known to be broken. This fixes VBox bug #8605
We should refuse to install python bindings (gray out this option, or gives warning message), if python modules are old.

Nevermind. It is probably not possible to test all python packages for small bugs on all platforms. Probably just need to document those issues on forum.
Please close as WONTFIX.
