I want to be able to bootstrap Python from a Pocket Access database. That is, store 
compiled (and compressed) .pyc files in an Access Database, rather than as distinct 
files.  This will save space. Also, a desktop application can be used to load modules..

So that's why zlib is there.

_socket is built-in because I felt that every app would use tcp/ip anyway, also, I want to 
be able to debug apps using HAP, so having it in one .dll saves a little space.
