[python-win32] what's required to use win32com in a portable python directory.

I don't know if that's just true for pywin32 but in general you don't
need to register COM dlls if you provide manifest files. Google for
side-by-side sxs registryless regfree. Also this company are helpful -
helped me use reg-free COM and .NET together -

A COM server can only be accessed through the registry.  So, if you are
writing a COM server, then you must create registry keys.
