It would be cool if we were able to provide a more differentiated installation 
on Windows. I know a bunch of people who might try it out if it could be made 
compatible with their present Python environment. 

Sorry for higjacking the question, but how is the Windows build managed, 
Johannes? Is it through CMake and msys? Have you tried compiling it using 
visual C++? How well do the other packages compile on Windows?
