Meld 1.7.3 released

[Keegan Witt <keeganwitt gmail com>]

I would like to get the source for Portable Python (that's been a long time request), but there's not too much of a worry in that you're not using closed-source binaries, it's just the source for the installer isn't open yet.  See the conversation here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/portablepython/H6eygvoIepA/QQxcrWLgRYcJ.  I only looked very briefly at doing py2exe, it looked a bit complicated to get GTK working with it, though it's very possible this was because of my lack of Python knowledge.

Yeah this is obviously turning out to be a run-around for you. If we
ever get to a point where the base portable-python thing is open
source then making an official Windows build and distributing via
gnome.org would be a useful goal. However, while there are
effectively-closed-source blobs in there that's not really an option.

I also haven't looked into other packaging options on Windows to see
whether we can use something more vanilla like py2exe or similar.
Maybe someone else knows such things better than I?

cheers,
