Python has a standard utility called 'freeze' that does much of what
you want. It creates two C files that include the Python interpreter
and the compiled bytecode of the application and a Makefile to link
them up. Works on Unix, Win32, etc. Has some caveats with shared
libraries (essentially, you have to install the shared library in an
expected place as well as the executable).
