I think that I'll have to make it in other way... The updater package
consisted of four files: iUpdate.py, tar.exe, gzip.exe and cygwin1.dll, if
I'm suposed to bundle also the sources for the last three files imagine the
size of this package! It will be bigger than the main program package
itself.

Why not simply search for the tools in your script, and if they are not installed output a message saying that your script requires tar and gzip tobe installed under Cygwin?
