[Distutils] Windows specific installer

[Pehr Anderson]

Hey there, 

We do exactly as you decribe, turn our python app into a 
fully self-installing package for windows users that 
can be installed with just a few clicks.

We use a free tool called Inno. It works really well.
I did not set up our Inno packaging configuration 
so I can't answer questions about how to use it
(I spend all of my time in Linux).

I can verify that Inno works great for packaging
and distributing commercial python apps for Windows. 
Our app uses WXwindows and Inno had no trouble including
all the necessary libraries.
