-----------------
Please keep in mind that win32lib is still technically an alpha
release.  This means that newer versions can readily break older
programs without much of a second though.  I have a lot of win32lib
programs that were written prior to the advent of setHandler, thus
dependent on the onCilck, etc, syntax that Derek has promised to remove
at a not-to-distant release.  This is just one example, but when I was
actively programming with win32lib rather than gtk, especially in the
early days, many routines I used in version a no longer worked the same
in version b.  

Considering the frequency of releases, the minimal number of bugs
(there's always at least one lurking ), and the openness with which
Derek shares his vision of the lib, it really is high time win32lib was
declared as a stable, production version.  At that point, the lingering
habit of including the lib with the project may finally be broken.
