Please test the 2249-windows-dep-workaround-1 branch, which is intended to fix this
problem (and build problems on other platforms).

Install git from <http://git-scm.com/download>, then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs.git
cd tahoe-lafs
git checkout 2249-windows-dep-workaround-1
python setup.py test
