For some reason the build script didn't download the latest revision
from trunk, so I had to manually update this.

I'm not sure why, I did get 2.0 installed, though.

It was bundled for me. But Alexander's patch should be landing which
will guarantee it for 2.0.0 final.

As long as 0.6.5 doesn't immediately fail, that is fine. I don't really
know if we had an internal version bump or not. (When that gets done is
always a mystery for me.)

So, IMO, this should be done with a: "bzr_explorer" file, that we can
add to setup.py as:
 windows = ['bzr_explorer']

This is just a of 'scripts' that creates it as a non DOS box script.
(basically, running as 'pythonw bzr_explorer' rather than 'python
bzr_explorer')

Though it seems that it actually wants a dict there, but that is easy
enough to do. If you want example code, you can look at:

bzr cat \
http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/mirrors/mifar/dev/0.7-jam/python/mf/clients/pocky/setup.py

Also, that gives you a chance to set up the icon resources so the final
.exe has a nice icon, etc.
