The 'install' target for the GMTL build does not include the Python
bindings.  Run the following instead:

    scons EnablePython=True BoostVersion=1.32
BoostPythonDir=D:\Progra~1\Boost optimize=yes

Note that I added "optimize=yes" to the end.  Without that, the build
has to be linked against a debug-enabled version of Python, and most
people don't have that installed on Windows.

After the build completes, you can copy gmtl.pyd to the location where
you want to have it installed.
