[PyQt] Portable Application

[V. Armando Sole]

I also use cx_freeze. The resulting structure is easy to tune by hand if 
necessary (adding files/modules in library.zip for instance). On my 
PyMca project I have a cx_setup.py that does all the job. It is probably 
overkill and includes more than needed but it works for me.

The only thing I was not able to achieve was to produce a linux 64-bit 
"frozen" executable able to run on different linux 64-bit machines. 
Frozen 32-bit versions were mostly successful (probably due to 
compatibility libraries).
