I have now tried it out.

The good news is at:

http://www.civil.ist.utl.pt/~moitinho/vtk/VTK-4.1.1.cvs.win32.exe

It seems to work, but needs probably some testing. I am not an expert, but is 
it usefull with only the vtkXXXPython.dll's? I was expecting that everything 
needed yo have a running vtk would be there, including vtkXXXX.dll.

The (not so) bad news is that I had to use some persuasion:

- copy source/__init__.py and source/vtk.pth to build directory
- create a vtk directory with subdirectories gtk, qt, test, tk, util and wx

Was it my mistake (bad path?).
