Changes: A bug in which user-provided icons disappeared from built executables when these were compressed with UPX was fixed. Problems with packaging of applications using PIL was fixed. When used under Windows XP, packaged programs now have the correct look and feel and follow the user's themes. A buffer overrun in the bootloader which could lead to a crash when the built executable is run from within a deep directory pathname was fixed. A regression introduced in 1.1 was fixed: under Linux, the bootloader does not depend on libpythonX.X.so anymore.
