PythonReports should be found without explicit include.  For my other 
project (no wx part, only reportlab-based builder and pdf output), I use

         "includes": [
             "PythonReports.PILDrivers",
             "PythonReports.RLDrivers",
         ],
         "excludes": [
             "tcl",
             "Tkinter",
             "_tkinter",
         ],

No, it can't.  The resources are to be packaged as data files, separate 
from library.zip.

I have planned to add a check for ".zip" in module path to 
editor.utils.get_resource_dir().  In your case, the path would be 
'C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBookV4\lib\res\pythonreports.ico' - with 
directories up to and including library.zip removed by get_resource_dir().

I think that img2py will do, too.
