The win32all package includes scripts that will register
Python for use by ActiveScripting (and thus, WSH).  I don't
recall exactly where, but I think underneath win32comext
somewhere--it's discussed in the docs at some point.

There may be other registration scripts that need to be run,
as well, but I believe that installing win32all on top of
PythonLabs Python yields almost exactly the same thing as
ActivePython.

Mind you, you'll still have to wait for Mark Hammond to
build win32all for 2.2 .... though it sounds like he'll have
lots of time to work on that now.  :(

(Wishing good karma to Mark...)
