Ok, I'll probably follow this recommandation (but maybe I'll also
include egg).

Another question:

Is there a way to mark the distribution so that it will work for
Python 3.3 and 3.4, but not 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2? There are existing
installers for 2.x (containing compiled extensions) already registered
on pypi.

All this is for py2exe.  Maybe I should name the python3 version 
'py3exe' instead ;-)
