[python-win32] Can't import win32api from pywin32-egg in wine

[Mark Hammond]

IIRC there is a bug in setuptools that prevented the post-install script
running in an egg - which would prevent those 2 DLLs being copied from
pywin32_system32 to either system32 or next to python.exe.  Try copying them
manually, or run 'pywin32_postinstall.py -install'
