PCbuild/readme.txt contains some very useful
instructions on obtaining external packages
needed to build extensions (zlib, tk, etc),
but there is a small error in the instruction as
to where these distributions should be placed.

"... download the base
packages first and unpack them into siblings of
PCbuilds's parent
directory; for example, if your PCbuild is
.......\dist\src\PCbuild\,
unpack into new subdirectories of dist\."

This should say
"if your PCbuild is
.......\dist\Python-2.4.1\src\PCbuild\"

... because that's what works.

Actually, it currently seems to be correct.
