Is there something I've missed?

My money would be on the warning from the build process that Modules/Setup.dist is newer than Modules/Setup :)

To keep NTFS and any other case insensitive filesystems from choking on module renames which only differ by case, the old names have been moved to the lib-old directory. You need the newer Setup file to get that directory to appear in sys.path.

(Hmm, is changing Modules/Setup enough to sort the Windows build out as well? Or does that need a separate change to some of the Visual Studio files?)

Cheers, Nick.
