Can you leave the encodings package for another time? I find the noise caused by the generation of the 120+ files there very distracting: even though they are not in the repo, the Make output still adds 360+ lines each time a dependency of _freeze_module changes, which is pretty much any C or .h file in the project.

It would be nice if we could freeze submodules of a package (and maybe even its __init__.py file) without freezing the entire package. Perhaps we can think of ways to tweak import.c so that importing "foo.bar" first looks for a frozen foo.bar before looking in foo.__path_rozen_?

PS. The default is still "off" right? I only get frozen modules with -X frozen_modules.
