This is very cool. I'm glad to see attention towards packaging useful applications and not just libraries for web development in a virtualenv, and the limitations of zip compression are felt by our Python applications comprised of many separately compressed files. Is bdist_xar calling out to pip to install all of a package's dependencies (or all that are not already installed) into the xar as part of the build?
