Hmm... I guess I though that win32pdh was part of python 2.4 (I saw this 
error when building Pyton 2.3 packages but not Python 2.4).  But, of 
course it was probably that I did or didn't have win32all installed. 

That's unfortunate.  The win32pdh dependency needs to be fixed, then.   
It's too bad this dependency was created without appropriate checks.

No doubt we'll have several who complain about this one until numpy 
0.9.7 comes out...
