something is still using "from wx import *" instead of using the new

I never tried the new bundle stuff to try to get everything into one 
file.  You might want to check the py2exe list on gmane (I see you are 
on to that one already ;-) ).

Surprised to see library.zip, I am sure one of the bundle options allows 
you to include that into the exe.  The w9xpopen.exe is I believe only 
needed for Windows 9x and the msvcr71.dll needs to probably be shipped 
next to the exe.
