setup: include additional packages in py2exe distribution I'm attempting to reproduce the Inno installers on my local machine. As part of auditing differences between installer output, I noticed that the existing Inno installers include various 3rd party packages. There is no mention of this in the build instructions nor on the wiki. This must be something that is done by the installer producer. This commit teaches setup.py to include these 3rd party packages in py2exe's library. After this change, I am able to produce Inno installers that have a nearly identical set of Python modules. It's worth noting that pywin32 is included even though it probably shouldn't be. But including it is necessary in order to achieve parity with existing Inno installers.

WiX installer source files
==========================
The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.
The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder.
The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.
To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
