Digging around the standard library documentation, I came upon the
'modulefinder' module, which seems to be able to do what I want, at
least in terms of finding all the modules used. I wonder how difficult
it should be to wrap something around modulefinder that copies all the
relevant modules into a local directory and modifies sys.path
accordingly.
