I include the lxml package in some of my programs and I do so by
adding the following to the setup.py

packages = ['lxml']

However, I'm not sure if what you want to add is truly a package.
Yours might go into the "includes" directive. Currently, I use the
GUI2Exe wrapper for py2exe as I find it easier to make complex
executables. You can find it here:
