And as you know that problem was fixed in 1.7.11.  Unfortunately I
have not yet had time to figure out how to create an installer, or
to automate the build process enough for others to build things out
of the box.  As soon as we can produce a better win32 package than
the .tar.bz2 I mentioned in the release notes I'll upload it.  For
now, I've been focusing on making print and python work.

Hopefully it will get done soon, but it's one of many tasks.
