Futhermore, the installation of BLT on a Win98/Python/Tcl/Tk/Pmw system
requires a couple of manual tweaks.
Here's what I found in a google groups search.  This procedure worked for
me.

I got it!  (At least, it looks like I got it--the BLT-dependent demos
of Pmw now run.  I have not started using the setup for real work.)

What I did:
- Stock Python install.  I dropped back to 2.0 (Pmw 0.8.5 passes its
  tests in 2.0 and doesn't in 2.1), so my Python went into
  C:/Python20.  (Note: I know of no reason why this wouldn't work with
  2.1.  I just haven't tested it there.)
- Install BLT 2.4u into C:/Python20/tcl, using BLT's installer (the
  one for Tcl/Tk 8.3).  This gives you bin, include, and lib subdirs
  of C:/Python/tcl, with all the BLT stuff in them.
- Copy C:/Python20/tcl/lib/blt2.4 into C:/Python20/tcl/tcl8.3.
- Put the BLT DLLs in a directory on your PATH (not necessarily a
  system directory, just has to be on your PATH).

And it works.  (For me--usual disclaimers apply.)  I did not move any
of the other BLT files.
