    The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
    extracted) is fixed.
    
    Other changes:
    
    - The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
      are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
      files during installation.
    - The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
    
    - I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
      file (extract.c).
    
    - The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
      http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
      (and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
      from 40 kB to 16 kB.
    
    - The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
      user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
      (I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
    - The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
