Hi Edward,

Yes, I have taken a good look at Mark's work and notes.

The size likely can be trimmed down a lot, I have not been overly 
concerned with the size for the moment.

I've left it pretty fat in my builds so far, using ".pyc" files instead 
of ".pyo", including additional libraries such as the pywin32 
components, socket, ssl, bz2 etc... not compressing the Python standard 
library "Python25.zip" (currently 8 MB on Windows) so startup time is 
faster (I'm not sure if this is that applicable, I have not tested the 
difference with a compressed version), but was going by MarkH's notes.

I was also thinking of fixing up the build parts not to have to go 
through the full build process, so if you have workings on this already 
and want to help out I'd appreciate the help.

Cheers,
Todd
