Separate compiling and linking in pyc.py

[slide]

Is there any chance of being able to separate the compiling and linking
processes? So, you'd compile all the python standard library into a single
DLL. You'd then link that into your current compiland. This would be far, far
faster than the present method. And if SharpDevelop can do it, it is surely
possible.

I think what's really needed is the ability to embed arbitrary DLLs into the standalone package. Right now the list is basically hardcoded.

Mimicking csc's /reference switches is probably the way to go.

Should be easy enough. I'll try and do it next week.

I don't see an option in SharpDevelop to compile the stdlib, maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
