Removing the lines in site-packages/serial/__init__.py that
import the foreign platform stuff (java, posix) fixes things.

Platform-dependant imports are "a bad thing" when you want to
package up stuff with py2exe -- you end up with Mac and Unix
and Java stuff in your distribution since py2exe has no way to
tell which conditional imports to pay attention to.
