Seems like the various packager development efforts
could benefit from more cooperation with each other.
All the platform-independent knowledge about how to
find dependencies ought to be factored out and made
available in a way that all packagers can use.
I already did this with modulegraph. It's up to other people to use it
though, I don't have the time or interest to make patches for other
people.
Deciding on a common user interface for packagers
would help, too. Currently each one has its own
unique way of going about things.
Since when? py2exe and py2app are almost the same until you start
using platform specific features.
