When installing Quixote 0.6b5 on my Windows XP development machine
(with Python 2.2.2), which I have used for all my Quixote work so far,
setup.py crashed.

Grubbing around inside setup.py, I went to the part where _c_htmltext
is mentioned, since its status in Quixote has changed recently, and
commented out something in order to force use of the Python
implementation.

 # The _c_htmltext module requires Python 2.2 features.
 if sys.hexversion >= 0x20200a1:
     # Comment out to use the Python implementation of the htmltext type
     #kw['ext_modules'].append(htmltext)
     pass

By the way: If you do comment out that statement, you had better
insert a "pass", which perhaps should just be there anyway.

Now setup.py runs to completion. I have not figured out specifically
what was wrong, but possibly the setup is trying to copy a dll to a
nonexistent location, or something like that.
