According to the notice on the setuptools bug tracker, you did this by 
avoiding the use of LoadLibraryEx().
I don't see any changes in launcher.c in setuptools SVN yet, did you 
forget to commit? Or am I looking in the wrong place?
I'd like to see your solution.
> * Stop crashing on certain types of HTTP error
> * Stop re-trying URLs that already failed retrieval once
> * Fixes for various dependency management problems such as looping
>   builds, re-downloading packages already present on sys.path (but not
>   in a registered "site" directory), and randomly preferring local -f
>   packages over local installed packages
> * Prevent lots of spurious "already imported from another path" warnings
>   (e.g. when pkg_resources is imported late)
> * Ensure C libraries (as opposed to extensions) are also built when
>   doing bdist_egg
>
> Other changes:
>
> * Misc. documentation fixes
> * Improved Jython support
> * Fewer warnings under Python 2.6+
> * Warn when 'packages' uses paths instead of package names (because it
>   causes other problems, like spurious "already imported" warnings)
> * Stop using /usr/bin/sw_vers on Mac OS (replaced w/'platform' module
>   calls)
>
> You can install the updated version using easy_install (or pip!), 
> asking for setuptools==0.6c10.
