[pygtk] py2exe and pygtk issues

[Fredrik Corneliusson]

Hi,
I use this small bat (rename buildDOTbat to build.bat) file to handle
the copying of the necessary GTK files and do the py2exe build. It
assumes GTK runtime is installed in "C:\GTK".

BTW, why do you explicitly exclude the "gtk" and "gtk.glade" modules?
I've updated the "setup.py" to look more like the one I use.

Regards,
Fredrik
