Summary: bdist builds bogus .zips

Initial Comment:
According to Thomas Heller: "... the resulting zip-file
from
'bdist --formats=zip' is unusable because it contains
filenames relative to
the root directory)"

Such paths may be OK for Unix (cd / and unzip it,
perhaps?), 
but isn't much good for Windows, where Python might be
installed anywhere.
