Attached is an updated patch against the current CVS.

I have verified each aspect of this patch with 
Py_VerboseFlag set to 2, so that import.c traces out which 
files it is checking during the import process.

(Im not aware of an easy way to set Py_VerboseFlag to 2 in 
a frozen program.... Ive added a new patch #467455 to 
enhance the PYTHONVERBOSE environment variable to support 
this)

I can confirm that the current CVS (rougly 2.2a4) still 
demonstrates the problem from bug #404545. The details are 
slightly different to my original bug report; Im not sure 
if this is due to an incidental change in python since 
1.5.2, or if I messed up that bug report. Anyway, using 
PyVerbose=2 clearly shows that before this patch it is 
looking for files it shouldnt (and it uses those files if 
they exist). After this patch, it definitely only looks for 
the right files.

The other aspect of this patch, adding -E and -X to 
freeze.py, is exactly as before.
