Ahh, great.  Thanks.

So any ideas why distutils is generating a bdist_wininst installer with 
file names like:

     lib/argparse-0.8.0-py2.5.egg-info
     lib/argparse.py

instead of what John Machin had:

     PURELIB/xlrd-0.6.1a4-py2.5.egg-info
     PURELIB/xlrd/biffh.py

The ones with 'lib' instead of 'PURELIB' will get rejected by the 
safe_zipnames regular expression in verify_filetype.py:

     re.compile(r'(purelib|platlib|headers|scripts|data).+', re.I)

Is there something I need to do when running 'setup.py bdist_wininst' to 
get 'PURELIB' instead of 'lib'?
