Just FYI, According to Microsoft's own web site, developers can indeed include this file in the distribution, so we are just going to include in a Windows 0.99 release candidate 2 (0.99rc2), instead of taking the more dramatic step of rebuilding Python from source, which could potentially create other compatibility issues between PyMOL and the official win32 Python 2.4 build.
Hopefully that will resolve this issue -- apologies to everyone for the inconvience! Microsoft pulled a bit of a fast one with respect to this DLL, which was a standard part of Windows up until now.
