You posted that a long time ago. You actually posted it before I started
reading the mailing list (by 1 month).

Thanks for reposting. Though gmane seems to have a double copy of the
text. Any idea why? Is there more than one script? If you don't mind
reposting the script, it would be nice.

I'm also thinking that we could gzip the contents of EXEMAKER, since
python come with gzip decompression, and there seems to be a whole lot
of duplicated characters, making the binary string longer than it needs
to be.

Thanks,
John
