I have the impression that this issue may already be fixed in py2exe CVS but
noone bothered to do a release.  Here is the corresponding changelog entry:

	* build_exe.py: Patch from Grant Edwards, slightly adjusted:
	py2exe now renames the pyd files that it copies into the dist
	directory so that they include the package name.  This prevents
	name conflicts.

I have created installers and uploaded them (for testing!) to the starship:

http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe-0.6.7.win32-py2.3.exe
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe-0.6.7.win32-py2.4.exe
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe-0.6.7.win32-py2.5.exe

Please try them out.

Thanks,
Thomas
