Hello!

If we're using the py2exe to make executables out of your programs, we can
use the '--icon' command line option to give our program an icon image.
There's some more information on the py2exe web page about this:

    http://py2exe.sourceforge.net/


By the way, there's a great web page on pygame.org that talks about
packaging windows executables:

Good luck to you!
