I'm using Python 2.6 and cx_Freeze 4.1.2 on a Windows system. I've created the setup.py to build my 
executable and everything works fine.
When cx_Freeze runs it movies everything to the build directory. I have some other files that i would like included in my build directory. How can i do this? Here's my structure.
src\
    setup.py
    janitor.py
    README.txt
    CHNAGELOG.txt
    helpers\
        uncompress\
            unRAR.exe
            unzip.exe
Here's my snippet:
  setup
( name='Janitor',
  version='1.0',
  description='Janitor',
  author='John Doe',
  author_email='
[email protected]',
  url='http://www.this-page-intentionally-left-blank.org/',
  data_files = 
      [ ('helpers\uncompress', ['helpers\uncompress\unzip.exe']),
        ('helpers\uncompress', ['helpers\uncompress\unRAR.exe']),
        ('', ['README.txt'])
      ],
  executables =
      [
      Executable\
          (
          'janitor.py', #initScript
          )
      ]
)
I can't seem to get this to work. Do i need a MANIFEST.in file?
Thank you.
