py2exe follows all imports starting at bp.py.  Just make sure something somewhere
imports it and calls it.

You need to build on the Windows2K/XP family.  Until about 2 weeks before 0.6
was released I used Win98 as my main OS.  Unfortunately the scripting
between Win98 and Windows2K/XP is different enough that I can't really make
one file work for both.

You are also going to to find it quite a bit of fun building if you don't
have all the necessary software installed.  In particular, you will also need
Resource Hacker installed in c\program files\resource hacker,
helpblocks and the Microsoft Help Compiler, and InnoSetup.

That same command should work outside of Cygwin as well.

Why are you trying to build an exe?  It is only needed if you are trying to give
the software to someone else.

I am more than happy to integrate your work.  Do a cvs update, and then from
the command line:

   cvs diff -u

And send me the results.  I can also send you an exe if you want one.
