So I can't just take the pythonnet binaries and put them on PYTHONPATH or in site-packages? I have to build it from source as a module? Either PYTHONPATH or site-packages will work for me; at this point I just want to make it work somehow. I tried with PyDev and can't seem to get it to recognize that System is a valid import.

This is for an in-house tool that I need to make as easy as possible to install and use, I just need to write up the install procedure. It uses a data acquisition system which has .NET libraries but nothing for "pure" Python.

You will likely need to better define your ultimate deployment requirements/needs to figure out how you'd want to approach that issue.
