Don't worry I'll try to merge it. The difficulty I had with spe on linux
for setup.py was that the directory structure wasn't really organized
for that. For example python source code is mixed with images and docs.
For Phatch I realized this and setup it hopefully right from the start.
I am curious how you solved that in your setup.py If there are any
issues I'll report back.

This is partially true. A newer version of winpdb might not necessarily
work with spe. Linux can specify rules to force a certain version, on
windows this gets more difficult. For now I prefer to improve things on
the linux/debian side. If some of you are really interested in windows
packaging, we can always tackle that later.

Thanks for all your work!
