Should be back up. DreamHost has been having problems. I'll see about  
getting these in tonight.

To do "includes", you need to manipulate the modulegraph instance.  
Take a look at the docutils recipe for an example. 'packages' is in  
the return value because that need to be dealt with by py2app, not  
modulegraph.

Applications are usually distributed compressed, the on-disk size  
isn't too much of a concern for most people...

You probably have to be subscribed?
