How do I get Win32 to locate DLLs elsewhere (not really a Python thing)?

If you're running Windows 2000, this might not be entirely the
application's problem.  If you MOVE an application that is known to the
Windows installer, it will search certain parts of the registry and adjust
occurrances of the old directory name to the new directory name.  Usually,
this is a good thing, but if you happen to drag an application to the
recycle bin intending to get rid of it, you can end up with bogus paths
like this.
