Currently you need Office 2000 installed to build spambayes.  This is
because we reference the Office 2000 type-libraries, which allows us to work
in all office versions 2000 or later.  If we referenced the Office XP
type-libraries, SpamBayes would no longer work on systems with only office
2000.

For the purposes of testing, you could change setup_all.py to reference the
typelibs for your version of Office.  To do this you will need to run
"\Python23\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py -i", and select the
relevant typelibs from the list.  makepy will print the new values you can
use for the selected typelibrary.  In general, most will be very similar to
the originals, but with a different version number.  You will also need to
update Outlook2000\setup.py with these new values.  Again, once you have
done that, your version will not work with Office 2000 - but that may be OK
if you don't intend distributing the built version.
