My money would be on the warning from the build process that 
Modules/Setup.dist is newer than Modules/Setup :)

To keep NTFS and any other case insensitive filesystems from choking on 
module renames which only differ by case, the old names have been moved 
to the lib-old directory. You need the newer Setup file to get that 
directory to appear in sys.path.

(Hmm, is changing Modules/Setup enough to sort the Windows build out as 
well? Or does that need a separate change to some of the Visual Studio 
files?)

Cheers,
Nick.
