I had this problem, too (just not with Matlab). I copied the DLLs to the
site-packages/PyQt4 folder. Not a clean solution but it works. Another
possibility would be to /move/ the exes and DLLs to the pyd folder. But
then Qt Assistant might not find the help files.

Thanks Thorsten, good to know.
If it works, why not doing it directly in the PyQt4 GPL installer, Phil?
In fact, that would be great if the "add directory to PATH" thing would
not be necessary any more, just like before (with the 4.3.3 release).
