I'm not so sure about that as I think I successfully tried
distutils.util.spawn(["perl","C:/path-to-intltool/intltool-update"])
(being under Linux right now, too).

I was thinking about changing that line into something like above, as it
should also work under Linux with perl being called explicitly. The
remaining question then is how to specify the path to intltool-update in
a cross-compatible fashion. (Note that I was wrong about its location
being on my windows path. Conversely, C:/Program
Files/Python27/Lib/site-packages/gtk-2.0 is on my *Python* path, with
intltool in its runtime/bin/ subfolder.)
