Good catch!  (This uncovered some problems in my setup -- I hadn't
picked up the latest versions of a few modules. :-( )

I solved it a little differently, by adding hackery to __future__ that
avoids the dependency.  But maybe you're right and it should be built
statically (it's in the main DLL on Windows).
