The main pip web page has these two helpful statements:
"In the future it would be good if it could install binaries from
Windows .exe or .msi – binary install on other platforms is not a
priority"
"Maybe it doesn’t work on Windows. At least, the author doesn’t test
on Windows often."

Looks like a pip issue, not ours. easy_install gets this right AFAIR.
