Sonny Amazon has the GF1 with 20mm pancake as a set for $899 and the GF1
with 14-45 for $739, $160 less. But there's only $50 between the retail
prices of the two lenses.  So you're paying a $100 premium for the 20mm so
it ain't really a kit. Indeed I suspect you could get the GF body and the
20mm separately for not much more.

Are they paying that premium in Europe?
