I couldn't get the new pycryptopp to link when I built it stand-alone
(sorry; no details on this yet) but it linked okay as part of the tahoe
build, so I installed that egg and everything was fine.

Unfortunately for understanding the strange things I saw, I finished
getting all my systems upgraded and have cleaned up all the old bits, so
I'm no longer equipped to reproduce the odd behaviors.

I wish now I had copied and pasted the exact output, but yes, that's
really what I saw.  In the end the only way I was able to get my node to
come up as 1.8.0 was to delete 1.7.1 and all the files from 1.7.1 in
\python26\scripts\.  I had to make it impossible to load 1.7.1 in order to
load 1.8.0.
