Ah, OK, you're saying this is *already* available ... and it is. 
Joseph, when you run the .msi thingie, click the Advanced button in
the second screen.  Then there's a radio button controlling whether to
install for all users, or just the current user.  I selected the
latter, and python24.dll was installed under my Python24 directory
instead of under a system directory.
