[PythonCE] packaging app into cab's

[Alex Mandel]

Give me a few minutes to find it but I wrote some scripts to make this
easier. The basics I have a python app with gui that lets you pick
whatever files you want, then builds the ini for the pocket pc sdk cab
builder(from microsoft), builds a cab. Then you take that cab and modify
an NSIS script that already references a pythonce install and add the
cab to the list of things to install, this uses activesync to detect if
it's already installed and if the version has changed.
