Building QuantLib for Python on Win XP

I have compiled (in release mode) the QuantLib .8.1 library.  Now I am trying to run the Python installation with: python setup.py install in the Swig/Python directory.  I have set QL_DIR = C:\QuantLib, although the actual built files are in c:\QuantLib\bin\Release

Python tries to load the boost libraries but is unable to find them and throws the error:

Cannot open include file: 'boost/config.hpp'

Shouldn't the setup.py script be using the pre-compiled binaries instead of rebuilding the libraries from source?

Should I set QL_DIR = C:\QuantLib\bin\Release, or am I doing something else incorrectly?
