The following works for me on WinXP , 2000 and Vista with matplotlib 0.90.1:

# matplotlib data
import matplotlib as mp
matplotlib_font_afm = glob.glob(os.sep.join([mp.get_data_path(), 
'fonts/afm/*']))
matplotlib_font_pdfcorefonts = 
glob.glob(os.sep.join([mp.get_data_path(), 'fonts/pdfcorefonts/*']))
matplotlib_font_ttf = glob.glob(os.sep.join([mp.get_data_path(), 
'fonts/ttf/*']))
matplotlib_images = glob.glob(os.sep.join([mp.get_data_path(), 'images/*']))
...

      data_files = [
...
                    ("lib\\matplotlibdata", 
[os.sep.join([mp.get_data_path(), 'matplotlibrc'])]),
                    ("lib\\matplotlibdata\\fonts\\afm", 
matplotlib_font_afm),
                    ("lib\\matplotlibdata\\fonts\\pdfcorefonts", 
matplotlib_font_pdfcorefonts),
                    ("lib\\matplotlibdata\\fonts\\ttf", 
matplotlib_font_ttf),
                    ("lib\\matplotlibdata\\images", matplotlib_images),
                    ]


Hope this helps
