Thanks Luis,

May be we might just lear from Bleneder people frustration and provide a
python DLL + site-packages inside KiCad
Win32 installation. If the user has it's own installation (and libraries)
then they could point to it with PYTHONPATH.

I've just installed Blender in a Win32 to test, and they:

1) Add Python.dll to the main binary directory (where exes reside), so at
load time their installed .dll has the priority to load  (2MB)
2) They include a "python" directory with all the python library that come
as .py (10MB)
