It is getting offtopic, but I don't care too much about that.  I
requested that zlib be changed to a builtin module too allow easier
bootstrapping of py2exe'd apps which have a compressed library archive.

The nearly only reason for me to implement the single-file option for
py2exe was that the implementation simulates a static linked Python-dll,
which allows for several totally-isolated interpreters in the same
process.
