1) This is for me a big step backward. With python2.5 this was not needed !

2) where is this documented ? (I mean "if you use win32ui with py2exe 
you need VC redist etc... good version ... not SP1...")

3) does this apply to other modules ? (to prevent me to loose hours 
looking for something other people already know)
