Comment (by daira):

 Replying to [comment:8 daira]:
 > We ''could'' use the hack in [source:setup.py#L131] only on Windows.

 That is [changeset:07aa5e76b5faea91f55fc5f566e8b766c7685c51/trunk in fact
 what we do now] (since 1.10.1).

 > I don't like this solution because it increases the divergence in build
 behaviour between Windows and other platforms even further.

 I still don't like it. I think we should use the pypiwin32 wheel instead,
 but that is blocked on switching to pip (#2077) or newish setuptools
 (#2044), because wheels cannot be built/installed by zetuptoolz.
