Hi there! And thanks for the work on pyinstaller. Coming from py2exe,
pyinstaller seems like a considerably improvement.

I tried to post this on the issue tracker, but keep getting 500
errors. I'm new to pyinstaller, and looks like I downloaded it right
at the time 1.5rc1 was released.

The issue is foreign characters in usernames on Windows. It appears to
be a problem on iu.py:153, where the user's home directory is tried.
Might be possible to work around by decoding the path to unicode from
sys.getfilesystemencoding(), but since I don't use any zip imports in
my code I just added another exception for UnicodeEncodeError. Simple
to test - create a new user and put some foreign characters in their
name, then try to run your app.

One other thing while I'm here - I noticed that builds from 1.5rc1
can't be profiled in dependency walker. DW appears to get into an
infinite loop after loading pythoncom27.dll. If I move this file from
the dist directory then the profile completes, but the app doesn't
work then. Not sure if it's a DW issue or a pyinstaller issue, but
thought it worth mentioning.
