Have a look at win32evtlogutil.py.  AddSourceToRegistry has:

   if msgDLL is None:
     msgDLL = win32evtlog.__file__

So win32evtlog.pyd is such a DLL.  pythonservice.exe is also such a 
file.  win32evtlog.pyd has simply lots of "%1" messages - ie, no text at 
all.  See 
http://www.pythonpros.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PyWin32/win32/src/win32evtlog_messages.mc. 
  pythonservice.exe has a few service related messages too - see 
http://www.pythonpros.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PyWin32/win32/src/PythonServiceMessages.mc

You can build you own DLL using the message compiler (mc.exe) from msvc.
