Just wanted to report the results of my test.  Everything seems to be
working as expected.

I renamed my site-packages\win32com\gen_py dir (and recreated it with
only the original __init__.py file to be safe).  I also renamed the
registry keys for the Outlook 2000 and Office 2000 typelib versions so
that they wouldn't be found.  I then registered the py2exe binary addin
and loaded Outlook.  SpamBayes ran fine, and no files were created in
the dist\bin, dist\lib, or site-packages\win32com\gen_py directories.
