Answering my own question for the record:
Sorry for the OT post in the first place.

Because of some magic that the win32 wizards cast, py2exe doesn't find
win32com.shell.

import sys

try:
    import modulefinder
    import win32com
    for p in win32com.__path__[1:]:
        modulefinder.AddPackagePath("win32com", p)
    for extra in ["win32com.shell","win32com.mapi"]:
        __import__(extra)
        m = sys.modules[extra]
        for p in m.__path__[1:]:
            modulefinder.AddPackagePath(extra, p)
except ImportError:
    # no build path setup, no worries.
    pass

Best regards and thanks to all who make python such a great language...
