setupext.py points you to
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static.tar.gz which is
required.  There is a README in that dir that contains detailed build
instructions.

If this proves too much of a pain, I'm sure Todd or I could provide a
build for you in the not-too-distant future.

Paul, do you have an estimate on when the remaining font issues (eg
the font size setting problem) will be cleared up?  I think we're due
for the 0.53 release.
