	Well, the first thing is to realize that ALL the common "one-file"
solutions are faking it -- they zip up a Python interpreter and all
libraries, along with the application files. When "run" they unpack all of
that into a temporary location, run, and then delete the temporary copy of
the files (and since Python, as I recall, can now load modules from a ZIP
file, they may not even fully unpack the mess).
