Proof? You mean, how can you persuade yourself that they are doing their 
job. Well, try to add some big inline eimages into a pdf, one time with, 
one time without the _rl_accel file.
You'll feel the difference ;)

Btw. I have looked at the source (lib/utils.py) and the location 
reportlab/lib is definately the right one.

I hadn't experienced the problems talked about in this thread, but I can 
tell you the following, which worked on my NT4 machine, which has no 
compiler:

- I installed the python.org windows binary version of python.
- I installed reportlab
- I dropped the .pyd files into reportlab lib

and it worked.
