[Distutils] script names that are same as top-level package do not work on windows

[Matthew Scott]

Ran into a problem with setuptools 0.6a5 on Windows where a console_script
is named the same as a top-level package.

This problem doesn't occur on Linux, presumably because the installed script
does not have a .py extension to confuse the import of a same-named package.

Excerpt from setup.py:

entry_points = {
'console_scripts': ['schevo = schevo.script.main:start'],
}

Traceback on Windows when running the installed schevo.exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\python24\scripts\schevo.py", line 7, in ?
sys.exit(

ImportError: No module named script.main
