3.4.3 yup but I didn't bother trying to use any binary packages. I'd rather not 
think about having to update our index with new versions of those whenever 
they're released, especially because I don't actually use Windows.

BFG really, really, really, reaaaaaaaly doesn't need the security here that is 
the reason for the i18messageid C extension.  BFG just uses the package because 
zope.configuration (zope.schema?) depends on it for ZCML.  It's a dead chicken 
in a non-Zope world.
