or port py2exe to modulegraph, used by py2app, and now by bbfreeze. I 
think it's faster and maybe more robust, but that may be a function of 
what machines I'm running on...

It would be really nice to have a grand unification of GUI builders. It 
strikes me that there are three components to any GUI builder:

1) The API presented to the user: how you specify what you want

2) The module finding code: how the system figure out what to include?

3) The actual app builder -- how everything gets packaged up.
    - this is necessarily different for each platform, and appears to be 
one of the key differences between different systems on the same OS.


Anyway, ti would be nice if there was more shared code between the GUI 
builders -- at least (2) would help a lot. aside from coding 
efficiencies, It would be nice to be more platform independent. For 
instance, py2app's API is modeled after py2exe. However, they use 
totally different module finding code, so I find I need to give totally 
different extra directive for any but trivial packages -- that's a real 
pain.

oh well, I'm not offering to write anything...
