Sorry, misunderstood this first. Haven't used ConfigParser before.

It don't work. Here's what I have done:

1. Extracted Installer in e:\installer.

2. Moved all my project files to e:\python\gustaf, which is in my Python 
path (sys.path). The project consists of jane.py + 4 other .py files with 
classes and functions.

3. Went to e:\python\gustaf and typed:

python e:\installer\simple.py jane.py

All 5 .py files modules were compiled into .pyc files. Apart from that, I 
also got the following new files:

Install_jane.exe
jane.exe
jane.cfg
gen_install.pyc
gen_install.py
Builder.log
installzlib.pyz
jane.pyz

5. Opened the jane.cfg file:

[MYINSTALL]
type= INSTALL
name= Install_jane.exe
bindepends= jane.py
zlib = INSTALLZLIB
misc= MYSTANDALONE
debug = 0
excludes = pywintypes, win32api

[MYSTANDALONE]
type= STANDALONE
name= jane.exe
script= jane.py
zlib = APPZLIB
userunw = 0
support = 0
debug = 0

[APPZLIB]
name= jane.pyz
dependencies= jane.py
excludes= dospath, posixpath, macpath

[INSTALLZLIB]
name = installzlib.pyz
dependencies = installutils
includes = installutils
excludes = dospath, posixpath, macpath

Either these header sections are not documented as they appear, or I'm 
looking in the wrong place. The Installer docs talk about PYZ, COLLECT, 
CARCHIVE, STANDALONE, FULLEXE and INSTALL.

6. Added a [PYZ] header section + a 'packages' property in the jane.cfg 
file:

[PYZ]
packages=_xmlplus

7. Ran Builder.py on the new jane.cfg:

E:\python\gustaf>python e:\installer\builder.py jane.cfg
W: exec statment detected at line 281 of imputil
W: No module named dos
W: No module named mac

And here I am. If you need to see the code, the project files can be found
