Installing Tix wigets on windows win32

I finally got it worked out. I will post the answer to myself so there
is some record of a way to do this.

I downloaded the appropriate binary distribution from the links
provided on tix.sourceforge.net

I ran the installer and had it install in some temp directory

My python 2.1 intallation is in c:\Python21

I copied the tix8.1 directory to  c:\Python21\tcl \
I copied the tix8183.dll to c:\Python21\

Voila, not too hard but not obvious either.
