setupext.py points you to
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static.tar.gz which is
required. There is a README in that dir that contains detailed build
instructions.

If this proves too much of a pain, I'm sure Todd or I could provide a
build for you in the not-too-distant future.

Yes, I've seen the pointer along with the word "masochist", and the
instructions.
If 0.53 is coming in a few weeks, I'll wait. I have enough to do fixing OSX
X11.

-thanks, gary
