py2exe odbc:cannot import dbi module

[Marc Ederis]

Great, it works, thanks Thomas!

But why did you say that odbc32.dll shouldn't be distributed? Because
our distribution should only contain python specific files?
If that's the reason, then I should probably take out MFC42.dll too,
right? Well, I'll just take them out and test... I guess I should
really familiarize myself with distutils, so I understand more about
all this!
