Since config obj is removed, it is mostly moot going forward, but it
appears that something still went wrong with the win32 build process.
Charlie, are you maintaining a setup.cfg file you use for the win32
builds that has configobj and traits off?  You also need to make sure
that you delete the build dir after any changes to setup.cfg before
rebuilding since cruft in the builddir can get carried along.  I will
add this to the devel release notes,
