[Pythonmac-SIG] shrink app bundle size (removing unused stuff)?

Editra is shipped with wxPython -- so it may have snuck in that way.

But I agree with Kevin, while the more we can clean this up with
py2app, it's an imperfect system -- I"ve generally ended with some
custom code to clean things out a bit after a build -- I write mine in
Python, and put it at the end of the setup.py, but the idea is the
same.

These are implicitly imported when you use the codecs module (either directory or through somestring.decoe("encoding").  Py2app cannot detect if you do this and therefore conservatively includes all encodings just in case they are needed.  Adding a way to specify which encodings should be included would be nice, I'm not sure when I'll get around to implementing this.
