The Py3 windows build issue still exists. I have started rebuilding my
Windows Dev environment to see about addressing it, but I do not yet have a
functioning build system. :P
It does sound like there may be a Py2 issue introduced now as well. I could
see the Py2 issue being a blocker for a trunk merge, but presumably the Py3
wouldn't necessarily be one.

Do we think we want to address this directly, or rely on packagers to do
whatever makes since for their environment? Perhaps we should just include
an easy, optional, library name override option?
