Building astroid on Windows/Python3 fails

1. Create a script named "2to3.bat" (containing "python "%~dp0..\Tools\Scripts\2to3.py" %*") in PYTHONINSTALLDIR\Scripts, so that the setup.py provided with pylint actually works on Windows (that would be a bug too... but the Windows Python installer should take care of this in a perfect world)
2. Unzip astroid-1.0.0.tar.gz, open a command window and change current working directory to astroid-1.0.0
3. Type 'python setup.py build'
4. Here is the result:

D:\Downloads\astroid-1.0.0>python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build\lib
creating build\lib\astroid
copying .\as_string.py -> build\lib\astroid

package init file '.\test__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
running 2to3 on build\lib\astroid\brain
error: Le fichier spécifié est introuvable

For what it's worth, the 3 steps above work with logilab-common-0.60.0.tar.gz but not with astroid-1.0.0.tar.gz.

With the following patch applied to setup.py, it's working:
