I've never been sure exactly how you selected what to include in any
particular module. I see that there are large swathes of swig interface.

I've managed to get a progress bar working with anygui, but typically an
installer needs some kind of pretty pictures (extracted from the exe
usually). For that one needs something of the order

        dc = GetDC(hwnd)
        bmp=LoadImage(hinst,....)
        memdc = CreateCompatibleDC(dc)
        old = SelectObject(memdc,bmp)
        BitBlt(dc,memdc,.....)
        SelectObject(memdc,old)

and then we need the way to destroy our created things eg bmp, memdc. As
others have said it's fairly easy to get these with
calldll/npstruct/windll etc etc. Installers tend to need all sorts of
win32 internals so perhaps the calldll approach is reasonable.
