Description

Looks like a really neat project... found out about it from an article (Tech Republic?).

Anyhow, in the documentation, the overview says PyOxidizer is capable of building binaries (executables or libraries). There's examples for building executables, but I'd like to know about building libraries, specifically windows dll. In Py2exe, there's a way to build ctypes.com or win32com dll. Can you add an example or something in the configuration section?

Thanks...
