I've decided to separate the core python binaries and the o4w 
environment settings into different packages. This will allow us to more 
easily tweak the latter without requiring people to download a 16mb 
tarball for every little change.

Package "python" will be an empty meta package that includes:

  - python-core: (10mb) core .exe and runtime
  - python-help: (6mb) compiled help file
  - python-wrapper: (<1mb) o4w specific environment settings

Conceivably tcl/tk and other things could be split into separate 
packages as well but I don't know enough about those to undertake that 
(and don't know that the extra work warranted either). I believe this 
structure will be largely invisible to existing users upgrading.

I've built the packages and will start uploading and testing shortly.
