Sort of. I've poked around at this, but unfortunately it seems that
py2exe doesn't like PyQt 4.5.2 so I can't get things to build on my machine.

Specifically, 4.5.2 seems to have some python v3 code, and uses a
'sys.version' check to load the right subset.

If I just try to build, then py2exe dies because it can't import the
code. If I add the py3k code to an exclude list, then py2exe dies while
trying to 'load_tail' because it thinks the code doesn't exist. I
haven't figured out a way for it to not find the code and *not think*
that it wants it.

Anyway, we basically need a new target, so that instead of linking to
"bzr" and passing "explorer" as an argument, we link directly to a
"bzr_explorer.exe" that doesn't want a console.

Though I'll also note that until recently, we still prompted for
passwords in the DOS box, so I'd want to make sure all those bugs are
fixed, before we start silently hanging and giving no indication of what
to do.
