Hmm, I had not anticipated these kinds of errors.  If Python is
buggier/different on win32 than it is on linux, the porting job may be
significantly harder (I thought the trouble would just be figuring out
which file attributes to compare, removing ownership information, and
things like that).

Anyway, I would first make sure that you can import modules like C and
_librsync directly:

~/prog/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup $ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30) 
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import C, _librsync
>>> 

If that fails, then it is some win32 import problem.  If that works,
but they can't be important from the larger program, maybe it is a
path problem, or maybe a circular dependency problem.

ITRBranch is in rorpiter.py, so this looks like rorpiter wasn't
successfully imported.
