Comment:

I think this needs revisited, it's not installable under msys2 so it's a
bit of a PITA package. I think I have managed to resolve most of the
issues and will make a future pull request.

Comment (by Cas):

The version stamping code in bbfreeze script will need a bit of work but
could use pefile:
- https://github.com/erocarrera/pefile
- http://blog.dkbza.org/2007/02/pefile-parsing-version-information-
from.html

For the disk space `psutil` is also not an option on msys2:
- https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/pull/845

Essentially do everything with ctypes or pywincffi

However there is a major issue with the fact that `twisted` still requires
`pywin32` so even if we drop support that is still going to bite us! This
also puts a spanner in using msys2 packages and creating a GTK3 windows
build. Arrgghh!
