Zipping python modules

[Brian Vanderburg II]

I've installed Python 2.5 on MSW and it works.  I'm preparing it to run 
from a thumb drive so I can run applications by dropping them onto the 
python.exe or from command line/etc.  It works but the size is quite 
large.  I've compressed most of the executables with UPX even the dlls 
under site-packages, but is there a way I could compress the top-level 
'lib' directory into a python.zip instead so save some space, and do I 
need the 'test' directory (which is about 10MB itself)?
