DLL Missing on Windows Install #105
Description
If you install mecab-python3 on Windows and get an error like this:
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _MeCab: the specified module could not be found
The recommended solution is to install mecab-python3 in a virtualenv. Based on current information, this always fixes the problem.
Currently, this issue cannot be reproduced reliably, and it is not clear how to fix it at the package level. For more information and updates, follow this issue: polm/fugashi#33.

It should be possible to resolve this using the same method as in polm/fugashi#104. I will get around to applying that to this build eventually, but if someone wants to make a PR that would be welcome.
