Putting all of them into pythonNN.zip (NN depending on the Python version  
in use) should be enough, but I've never tried it.

Standard Python already supports having zip files in sys.path (using the  
builtin zipimport module), you don't have to do anything special to enable  
that (apart from building with the required dependencies, like zlib, of  
course)

After renaming the directory where Python 2.5 were installed, my  
test25.exe program (the one compiled using Python 2.5.1) worked fine. So  
it looks like it is something with how the "python home" is searched.

Anyway, as I said earlier, you don't have to play with PYTHONPATH; just  
add any required directory to sys.path at runtime.
