Had a quick go at it on my machine. py2exe fails when it tries to import Qt. Qt for windows isn't free, so adding it would be a pain. The developers do let you use Qt 2.3 (fairly old) on windows for free - will Veusz work with this, Jeremy? This also has a catch in that it will only compile with MS visual studio 6, though I think MS gives away free command-line versions of its compilers so that might not be a problem.
Anyway, to me it looks like the easiest way to play with Veusz on windows is probably WinKnoppix, unfortunately. Though if Veusz will play nice with the older Qt I'm happy to set up my machine and produce binaries for releases... actually you can probably do it yourself in Wine without much effort.
