Wow, that is fantastic Thomas, congratulations!

So far, I've only seen where Thinstall has been able to accomplish this 
and at STEEP licensing cost, not free and open-source like py2exe!

Can this technology be applied to other platforms?
Could this all be modified in such a way that other scripting languages 
could take advantage of your bundling technology?

Thanks!
