[python-win32] Can't import win32api from pywin32-egg in wine

Hallo Mark,

Neither of these seams to work.

1) Both Scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py and
Lib/site-packages/pywin32-212-py2.5-win32.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py
fail.

2) Manual copy to C:\Python25, C:\Python25\DLLs and C:\windows\system32 
does not help.

I figured out that LoadSystemModule wants to load
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32\pywintypes25.dll
which doe not exist in an egg.

I prepared a patch which I will issue to the sourceforge project page.
