[Idle-dev] Bundling IDLE with py2exe

Again for completeness.
My attempt to bundle IDLE with py2exe became 'Movable Python' - a frozen 
distribution of python.
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/movpy

This is a frozen distribution of python (for windows). Once I 
implemented the '-c' commandline option - IDLE works with it.
