That might depend on how you managed to write a program that "spans several 
script files".

In the normal case, there's one script which imports other modules. Then
 >python <pathto>\Freeze.py <script>
or
 >python <pathto>\Standalone.py <script>
usually just works.

But if you're using "__import__" instead of "import", you'll have to go a 
level deeper and hand craft a config file for Builder.py.

And if you're using something like "execfile", well, you've got the source 
;-).
