Yes... It was...

In my case, I never was motivated, and I suspect it's got
quite complex code behind it...

Py2exe is a good replacement...  I'm generally happy, there's
only a few issues that I have not been able to solve.

For example, making a plugin based, expandable, generic
build.py....  If I do, the typlibs that I attempt to import
die...

Plus right now, I have solved the LsaLookupNames2 issue, but
it appears that I need different typelibs between W2000 & WinXp.
But here I am on a development XP system, and can't generate the
ones for 2000.... (Yes this isn't py2exe's fault...  But....)
