True that - I could upload the sources and just build it in place. 
Hopefully someone on the VC++ team can just install ActivePython on the 
machine for me.  If I build Python locally, is there a straightforward way 
to identify all the files I'd need to push to the machine to have it work 
there?  I'm assuming there'd be more to it than just python.exe.
