Thanks for that. I have overwritten my freezer.py with the one from
revision 353.

However the file i define in bin_includes in my setup script is not
getting to the method _ShouldCopyFile.

Maybe there is something wrong in the way i declare my build options.
This is what i have:

buildOptions = dict(
        compressed = True,
        create_shared_zip = False,
        append_script_to_exe = True,
        bin_includes = ["/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8"])
