- Fixed modulefinder / mf related bugs introduced in 0.6.4. This will be most evident when working with things like win32com.shell and xml.xpath.
- Files no longer keep read-only attributes when they are copied as this was causing problems with the copying of some MS DLLs.
New in py2exe 0.6.4 (Aug 12, 2011)
- New skip-archive option which copies the Python bytecode files directly into the dist directory and subdirectories - no archive is used.

See py2exe's boot_common.py for examples of what can be done. The custom boot script is executed during startup of the executable immediately after boot_common.py is executed.
- Thomas Heller's performance improvements for finding needed modules.
