Haven't looked at the PR, but it probably needs to be somewhere in the 
import docs as well, to do with native extension modules. That's where 
most people run into this. And in general the solution is either going 
to involve moving/renaming files or calling os.add_dll_directory, so a 
link to the latter may also be useful.

I think we've got a Sphinx tag for platform-specific information? If we 
do, it should use that. (Unless I'm just thinking of the "API 
availability" tag rather than a "Note" style box.)
