| A. There's a subdirectory of the library directory named 'stdwin'
| which should be in the default module search path. There's a line in
| Modules/Setup(.in) that you have to enable for this purpose --
| unfortuunately in the latest release it's not near the other
| STDWIN-related lines so it's easy to miss it.

(Maybe this should be part of section 3 -- building Python, rahter
than section 4 (programming in Python) ???
