PyInstaller support for generating executables.

Typing 'make' on Linux will create Win32 and Linux executables.

Building Win32 executables from Linux requires that Python, pygame,
PGU, and PyInstaller all be installed in the current WINEPREFIX.

 Usage
 -----
+Download and unzip the release package, and run `padpyght.exe`.
+
+It will present you with a list of connected gamepads and available padpyght skins.
+Select one of each, then click the "run" button.
+If it's your first time running with that combination of gamepad and skin, the program will ask you to map the controls.
+*Pay attention to the title of the window during this!*
+The window title will tell you what to do, while the visualization animates each action.
+If you make a mistake, you can revisit this mapper from the initial selection screen by clicking "remap" instead of "run."

+Build packages
+--------------
+To build release packages, simply type `make` and find the resulting `padpyght-win32.zip` and `padpyght-linux.tar.gz` in the `dist/` directory.
+It requires that PyInstaller, Python, PyGame, and PGU be installed, and that you have all of these things installed in Wine as well.
+If you don't want to use Wine (if you don't care about making Windows binaries, or perhaps if you're using MSYS or similar from Windows and have no need to run Wine), just run `make linux` instead of the default target.

 NOTE
 ----
 There are a few tutorials I've seen on the internet for how to use padpyght (thanks so much, by the way, if you've made one of these!), written/recorded before a major rewrite of this project occurred in August 2015.  If you're following one of these and you get lost, the pre-rewrite version may help you temporarily: https://github.com/lifning/padpyght/tree/legacy - but note that you'll be missing some of the newer features, such as interactive control mapping.
