I can't even guess about percentages. Lately, Installer has
been downloading at a rate of around 200 per week (about
50 or those for Linux / Unix). The mailling list has a few
dozen subscribers. I have over 1,000 private emails on
Installer[1]. Posts on c.l.py for py2exe seem about on par
with Installer posts. So, as a WAG, I'd say 10K people
making exe's isn't unreasonable (it's certainly thousands).

and I have never received an email from a user.
