Hi Thomas

yes it is possible to build a python15.dll containing the standard
library. In fact it's  easier than making an excutable out of it as the
whole build process on Windows is geared to producing dlls. I haven't
had time to make notes or automate the build process yet but email me if
you want some info and I'll try to scrape something together.

Marc Lemburg's mxCGIPython package is a good starting point.
