If you want to build a binary distribution of BitPim on
Linux, you will need to rebuild some parts of cx_Freeze.
It is because Python can be built with 2 byte or 4 byte
Unicode characters, and the cx_Freeze binary version uses
2 byte, and most recent Linux distros use 4 byte.
To do so, download the source version of cx_Freeze.
Run MakeFrozenBases.py. Note that you will need to
edit the file and remove the the line importing
cx_OptionParser, and then the two after the imports
that use it. The options object isn't actually
used anywhere else in the code.
