[python-win32] Two questions

[Paul Koning]

I would recommend py2exe.  That does a nice job dealing with packaging everything up, and you can take that exe file and its associated other files and wrap a conventional Windows-style installer around it.

In the early (pre-launch) days, I expect releases to be made frequently, as new features are added and the customer wishes to test them out.

Google tells me that I am missing mingw, but I have not installed mingw (knowingly), I don't remember adding  -c mingw32  to the command (not that that means much).  I don't want to install mingw on every client machine unless I have to - there is plenty already.
