Is there a correct way to not to bundle msvcrt and python dlls twice (first one in bootstrap dir and second in version dir) into windows distribution?
I mean such a layout inside .zip:
./app-0.1.win32/Microsoft.VC90.CRT/
./app-0.1.win32/python32.dll
./app-0.1.win32/
./Microsoft.VC90.CRT/
./python32.dll
./app.exe

I suppose it's by design, but could you advise a workaround? E.g. copy dlls to selected version dir in bootstrap module or maybe some better alternatives?
(I use python 3.2 and cx_freeze)

Anyway, really thanks for esky, excellent work!
