MakeCOMServer.py hasn't been touched (nor tested) since I started maintaing
PyInstaller, so it might well be broken in some way. If you provide me with a
complete bugreport (on the pyinstaller list, or as a ticket in the pyinstaller
bug system) I might have a look. Alas, I have little time to spend on
PyInstaller at the moment, but I'm eventually going to tackle this.
