I finally found a decent solution that worked for me.
BitNami has a free download called DjangoStack
(http://bitnami.org/stack/djangostack) that apparently installs the
sqlite libs, apache, and a few other things under c:\prog...\bitnami
django stack\* along with a folder under your user profile where you
can drop your django projects. With a few tweaks to an INI file, you
can access your projects at localhost:8080/myproject/.

The installer is dead simple and includes options for Postgres, MySQL,
and Sqlite.

Definitely eases the install for the end-user. After installing the
stack, I can give them an ini file to copy into the c:\prog... folder
and tell them to unzip my file into the django projects folder and
reboot.

I doubt I'll run into dependency issues as most of the django apps
don't require compiling--and the package already includes Sqlite and
PIL.
