In this case I fear the BDFL is inaccurate. zlib.pyd et al don't go into
$base they go into $base/DLLs so if the BDFL were to start distributing
newer versions of  zlib etc these would end up in the wrong location. I
thing the powers that be have got it wrong for this instance. These
singleton .pyd packages seem better off in DLLs to me anyway.

Anyhow if I were to desire the .pyd to end up in $base/DLLs how do I
make it do that under win32; must I mess with the defaults in my
setup.py?
