It's not so much about the installation I suppose. A friend of mine is 
packaging an app for Windows, and he _really_ likes the installed thing 
to be a single-file .exe, not a folder with many things. Apparently 
McMillan Installer does that very nicely. Too bad it doesn't support 
Python 2.4 (yet).
