I have don't know if this helps or not, but you should better clean everything
(remove the build and the dist subdirectories) when you are changing the options in the
setup script and 'recompile'.

Another tip:  You can examine what is in the zipfile, or the exe (if using
zipfile=None) when you rename the file to a *.zip file, and open it with
winzip or another archiver.
