I don't want to repeat the whole second point from my previous email, but given that pip doesn't handle non-Python requirements, some of the most important packages on PyPI are still going to be out of reach for many people, and I don't know what the solution is. (Build a statically linked lxml? Include libxml2.dll in the wheel? Just give a better error message that includes a link to how to download it?)

I think the cryptography project has had good success recently switching to statically linking OpenSSL on Windows in the Wheels.
