[python-win32] Creating standalone executable

Many thanks - by specifying '-F' I was able to produce an .exe file which appeared in the 'build' folder. This could be moved to another folder and still work, which is what I was looking for. My only question is about the other files in the 'build' folder and its subfolders. Are these still ne
