Well, I was hoping for something a bit more general.  I'd've thought
that anyone loading a DLL would set the Windows path beforehand, and
that it would all be magically taken care of during the installation.
For now, I'm putting this before my 'import' statement:
os.environ['PATH'] += r';C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pywin32-210-
py2.5-win32.egg\pywin32_system32'
