Well, somewhat.  It seems that you need *any* resource in the exe (which
you may want to delete afterwards, or not) otherwise you cannt insert or
add other resources.

Second, on win98 the version resource that py2exe creates doesn't
display in the explorer file properties box.  Not that I care too much
about win98 anymore.
