In fact, I have had one.
I asked to put all those big CJK codecs outside of python2x.dll because
they were too big and create far larger self-contained distributions
(aka: py2exe/pyinstaller) as would normally be required.
I was replied that it would be unconvienent to do so because of the fact
that the build system is made by hand and it's hard to generate project
files for each third party module.
Were those project files generated automatically, changing between
external modules within or outside python2x dll would be a one-line
switch in CMakeLists.txt (or similar).
