The latest release of setuptools will automatially detect that there is a
.dll present, and add it to the native_libraries.txt file for
you. However, if you want to be explicit, just add
eager_resources=['pysqlite2/sqlite3.dll']
to your setup() arguments.
I actually added the DLL detection specifically because of
pysqlite. :) Mainly, it made me realize that I ought to just detect dll,
so, pyd, and dylib files automatically, so that eager_resources is only
needed for *data* files that may be used by C extensions.
