The problem is that install, which is run inside bdist_wininst,
creates an installation tree in the build directory, and uses the
unix installation scheme for it, while bdist_wininst should force
the NT installation scheme.
On NT, data and scripts are subdirectories of lib, on unix, it is
different.
