After checking with Thomas Heller, I've change the setup.py script to
support py2exe 0.5

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup( name = "minimal",
       console = ["minimal.py"],
       data_files = [ (".", ["readme.txt", "minimal.rsrc.py"]) ]
       )

Thomas suggests looking at the py2exe examples for more elaborate builds.
Perhaps someone can make suitable scripts for all the tools which we can
include with release 0.8 (sometime after 0.7.3)?

After trying a test with Ruben I decided to remove the PyCrust import
support for wxPython 2.4.0.7 and earlier in debug.py. This seems to clear up
the above warning message. PythonCard 0.7.2 and 0.7.3 will still work with
wxPython 2.4.0.7, you just won't be able to use the shell.
