Hi, I've successfully used the solution in the PCBuild directory to build
CPython. However, now I have a binary and collection of .pyd files that
aren't really a coherent installation. How do I do the equivalent of a
"make install" step on Windows?

My ultimate goal is to get a directory that looks like the C:\Python27
directory produced by running the official MSI download. I suspect the
easiest way to achieve this is to build such an MSI and then run it. That's
totally fine with me.

I've done a fair amount of searching, but I've found results like the
following which just have scripts that manually copy files into place in a
way that sort of looks like an official installation. I'd like to do things
the canonical way, if possible. I haven't been able to find this anywhere
in docs.python.org, but maybe I'm blind.

Thanks!
Reid
