Dan, thanks for your analysis.

I've built a hello world .exe installer on Linux from the follwing:

---- 8< (hello) ----
#!/usr/bin/env python

print 'Hello World!'
---- 8< ----

---- 8< (setup.py) ----
from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='hello-bdist_wininst',
      version='1.0',
      scripts=['hello'],
---- 8< ----

With

$ python setup.py bdist_wininst

And no, hello-bdist_wininst-1.0.win32.exe installs without a problem on wine,
both xp and win2k.

I also confirm that pywin installs on wine/2k but has problems on wine/xp.
