Setting dist_path to an absolute path causes the generated zip to include all base folders of that path.

If I set dist_path to an absolute path, I.E. os.path.expanduser("app_dist") when installer_builder2 generates the zip file, the zip file contains all folders leading up to the dist directory. E.G. using my previous example, my dist zip contained: Users, and inside users, Bryn, and inside Bryn, app_dist, and inside app_dist, main.dist.
