Oops... I thought, this was by intention, because py2exe 0.4.1 has its 
own module loader...

Yes, this would work, BUT if I start a Python EXE directly from CD, then 
normally this variable is NOT set...

So I need to set it inside the Python EXE or run a C wrapper to set the 
environment variable and than start my Python EXE.

BTW: I tried to "import os" or "import OS as os" to add 
"os.environment['PYTHONCASEOK'] = '1'" inside, but this seemed not to work.
