Some updates:

I noticed that INSTALL.win actually contains some instructions for
installing on Windows (initially I thought it was a configuration file)

Following those directions (and with some help)

   1. Unzipped the package into the R library
   2. Added a file called local.config with my installation path for python
   3. ran the pexports and dlltool commands

Surprisingly, I still get the same error!  I'm not sure why the
local.config file is not found.

Anyway, it might be helpful to someone else to know that INSTALL.win is
something that you should actually read.
