New description:

 #1274 removed Tahoe's direct and indirect dependencies on pywin32.

 However, it appears that buildbot depends on pywin32 on Windows, so we
 can't uninstall it on the Windows buildslaves to automatically test that
 it isn't needed (and avoid regressions).

Comment:

 We now *do* depend on pywin32 (specifically pypiwin32), so this is now a
 WONTFIX.
