There are differences that are because of platform. I think datafiles 
are handles differently at least.

If you want to consider those bugs, I could try to dig into some of my 
setups and identify the issues I've found -- but that won't be for a 
couple weeks at least (vacation!)

agreed -- though it's no horrible.

Me too, but that requires cooperation, which may be hard to come by. I'd 
at least contact the ebb-freeze guy (Ralf?) -- he seemed a little 
confused about how to share code -- for instance, he said he couldn't 
use py2exe's code for including the icon because of licensing, but it 
looked like the license was compatible to me. With a little 
encouragement, maybe he'd be glad to share more.
