[PyQt] Compiling PyQt4 in windows for smaller Qt footprint

[Nahuel Defossé]

Hi
my main development platform is linux, but I have to deliver win32 binaries 
from time to time. I build them with py2exe and sometimes with PyInstaller, 
but no matter which of them I use, it turns out that the minimum QtGui + 
QtCore exe application footprint is 23MB. At least using the PyQt4 msi 
installer available at riverbankcomputing.co.uk

There are compressors for exe's and dll's, but I wanted to attack the root of 
the problem, PyQt4 size itself so I've asked in my local python maling 
list[1] (Spanish) and they told me that I could recompile PyQt4 disabling 
things I don't use. Is that possible? Any advise/article/anything regarding 
to this subject?

Thanks!
Nahuel
