AFAIK, regsvr is used to register COM servers with the OS. Python
extensions are not COM objects, so they don't need registering (not every
DLL is a COM object).

You will probably need to make sure the _gtk module (I don't know what the
filename would be under win32 -- probably _gtk.dll, _gtk.pyd,
_gtkmodule.dll or _gtkmodule.pyd) is in your python path, and the gtk dlls
are in the executable path (current directory or in windows system
directory, usually).
