This morning I put out 4a1, which gives you much more complete support.
You can even use gencache.EnsureModule and generate support on the target 
machine.

I'm don't know why. I do know that the gen_py related stuff used to be 
conditional imports (in the Python 1.5 timeframe), but became absolute 
imports in more recent releases. So it seems if you use anything in 
win32com.client, you get the whole shebang.
