Note that some people I know of, via webmaster, found that they
could install 3.4.x with the ActiveState installer but not the python.org
one.  Apparantly ActiveState bundles up some DLLs in its installer
'in case the user doesn't have them' whereas we don't -- and turns out
some users don't have them.  I have never been able to get enough out
of a user to find out exactly what magic sauce they have that we do
not -- it would be really nice to find out so that we can add it too.

No guarantees that this particular user has this particular problem,
of course.
