freeze and minidom problem

My guess is that freeze doesn't detect that expatreader is used, so it
imports none of the SAX code.

For Python 2.2, we put

# tell modulefinder that importing sax potentially imports expatreader
_false = 0
if _false:
    import xml.sax.expatreader

into xml.sax.__init__.py; that should allow you to freeze minidom/sax.

There is another complication that modulefinder can't learn to also
freeze _xmlplus when looking for xml. This should be no problem for
you, since minidom should work fine in Python 2.1.
