Warning: I'm a complete and utter python novice! :-)

My first attempt to use pyinstaller to build svnmerge.exe resulted in the
following warnings.

W: Cannot determine your Windows or System directories
W: Please add them to your PATH if .dlls are not found
W: or install starship.python.net/skippy/win32/Downloads.html

However, the web site listed in the message is no longer valid. I eventually
ended up at  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ where I downloaded and
installed the relevant package which fixed these warnings.
Recommendation: Change the old path in the warning message to the new
sourceforge location.

Another compile produced svnmerge.exe and a textfile of warnings as shown
below. Are these normal on Windows XP Pro with Python 2.4? Regardless, I
seem to have an svnmerge that appears to run "svnmerge.exe -V" successfully.
Is there a way to exercise the testsuite using the executable?
