I didn't have much luck with this. It looks like my solution is going
to be to just ignore this problem for now. In most cases, the binary
modules one downloads are written well enough that these DLLs aren't
going to step on eachother's toes. In fact, I haven't found a function
aside from win32com.server.register.RegisterClasses which has the same
problem. Now, if everybody moves to VS2008 for Python 3000, this
problem would work itself out. :)

Thanks for your help, Martin.
