Trouble installing PmwContribD - no "PmwContribD.pth"

I've searched Google (web and Groups) before asking this, so
here goes:

I'm needing the functionality documented in Doug Hellmann's
PmwContribD class MCScrolledListBox.py.  In the docs (from
what I assume to be the canonical distributions at:
"http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmwcontribd/") is mentioned
a file "PmwContribD.pth" (also mentioned only here in a search:
"http://groups.google.com/groups?q=pmwcontribd.pth&hl=en&rnum=1&selm=399BF0AA.1590C08D%40proceryon.at")
which is not included in either the .gz or .zip archive
on SourceForge (v r1_16).

I notice also that there's no __init__.py in the extracted
distro, either.

I'm developing on a WinME laptop running Python 2.2a3 with the
prerequisite Pmw 0.8.5, no problems importing Pmw, which is under
sys.path (under Python22\Lib) in a directory at the same level
as PmwContribD.  Registry editor confirms o/s environment is set.

Same with another development box nearby, same Pmw, but running
a stable Python 2.1.1 under WinNTsp6 (I'm a Linux/BSD/Irix/Solaris
weenie by the way, so don't get the wrong idea ;)).  No problems
with Pmw imports, but plenty with PmwContribD.

Anyone else had problems with non-Linux/unix installation of
PmwContribD?

Thanks,
Russell Whitaker
