When I try running setup.py on my machine I get the following error:

All packages listed in packages.config are already installed.

RuntimeError: mt.exe could not be found

Apparently it can't find mt.exe. I have VS2012 installed and mt.exe does exist on my system.

@rnestler
Use msbuild tools from PATH
6040008 
While _find_msbuild_tool searches in the registry to find the given
build tool, it doesn't check if it's already in PATH.

If one uses a developer command prompt to build, all necessary tools are
in PATH.

Fixes pythonnet#207 for me
