(Not just on Windows) pythonXX.zip is always on sys.path, and is searched  
like any other path (using zipimport).
You might in principle put all the standard library there, if you wish.  
py2exe, by example, searches for all dependent modules and puts then all  
in a .zip file.
But zips can only contain .py/.pyc files, not dynamic libraries like  
.dll/.so.

.dll files? Sure.

No, but if you have added entries into the PythonPath key, you may need to  
configure your Python search path (using a PYTHONPATH environment variable  
or .pth files).
