* removed directory filtering in setup.py; should no longer be necessary,

and it seems to cause problems on some platforms or versions of MySQL
  (most likely 3.23's mysql_config)

* removed use of weak references; I don't think they were needed any more,
  and they caused problems in some of the threaded tests.

* applied patch #1188359: If converters are passed in, use a copy().

* Version 1.2.1c2.
