IME, most of those times, the ".exe" is a CAB file with a
self-extracting header, anyway, which is another multi-file archive
format from Microsoft. Almost all non-trivial applications today have
multiple files that need to be distributed and installed, so I'm
personally with Bob on this one. On the other hand, I do have to say
that py2exe is great and easy to work with, especially for a
non-Windows guy like myself. Having something like this for Erlang
wouldn't suck.
