I once needed this and I used glob to do the trick (via py2exe 0.4; I
can't precise if that's still valid for the current version).
Importing glob and changing your data_files to look something like
this may help:

# file setup.py
[...]
import glob
[...]
data_files=[("images",
            ["images/BeefBuilder.ico",
             "images/add-arrow.bmp",
             "images/add-node.bmp",
             "images/subtract.bmp",
             "images/struct-a-file.gif",
             "images/export.bmp",
             "images/new.bmp",
             "images/open.bmp",
             "images/save.bmp"]),
            ("pool", glob.glob("pool/*.py*"))]
[...]
