This will build and install **web-greeter** in a zippy way, which compresses the python code as a zip and uses it as a binary. Either `sudo make install_freeze` to build and install with cx_freeze. The zippy method depends on the actual python interpreter and its libraries, so you could have problems when updating python or removing any dependency, while the cx_freeze method tries to fix this "problem".
