I'm aware of that, as I went through the same process, actually
discovered that dependency myself, and ended up having to use dlls off
the net. Eventhough I got this to work in the end, I ultimately found
that this isn't the only extension lib with 'issues', in 2.6 (numpy,
etc..) I finally ditched 2.6 for my app and reverted back to 2.5. My
recommendation is to do the same until things improve in extension
land.
