[python-win32] Unable to find PythonCOM20.dll

win32all-144 used the registry to perform even blacker magic than later
builds.  The magic in pywintypes.py was used to avoid the registry, but if
the registry keys exist, they will still be used (by Python itself, before
we get a chance to intercept)

Look for HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.3\Modules.  I recommend upgrading
to build 202 - installing these later builds will nuke these old keys, and
use the pywintypes.py white-magic.

Mark.
