On windows, I can compile Python without the 3rd party dependencies 
installed. (They are also mostly installed by one .bat file.) The 
compiler will report errors for what is missing, and the corresponding 
imports (like 'import zlib') from the missing dlls will fail, but 
python.exe is built and otherwise runs fine. Are things different on 
*nix -- all or nothing?

In any case, once the dependencies are installed, they should still be 
there if one upgrades with patch release.
