Okay. Things are in line with what I understand... :-)

It is shipped in the package cx_PyGenLib which is available in the same
location as cx_Freeze. That said, I intend to remove that dependency
since (as you noticed) it is fairly minor anyway and it would make
things a little simpler for those building from source.

Correct.

Yes. The prebuilt bases for Linux were built on Red Hat Linux 7.3 which
uses 2. The newer Red Hat distributions (and other distributions) use 4.
I should probably change the building distribution to something more
recent so that people don't keep running into this, eh?
