There is a smal bug in "pkg rebuild" in 2.9.12, which basically means it
can work as promised. It will only work correctly for locally installed
files and only if all installed files are listed. The attached fix
addresses this.

I believe this only affects Michael for his MSVC packaging and so he can
apply the patch in his package, so this is not a showstopper for the
package manager.
