Yes, should be the same thing.

Correct, ctypes is now included.

Yup.

We obviously need to update the windows documentation...

As Dave said, you may need to run the post-install script manually.
The binary win32 installer does this for you because when the
installer is /built/, it is told what to do as a post-install step.
But a manual installation from source may require that step to be
applied manually (it's been years since I wrote that code, and much of
the win32 setup has been changed since by others, so take anything I
say here with a big grain of salt).
