But it needs to be handled specially just because it's pip. And it *doesn't* need to be handled specially if it's "python -m pip install -U pip". That's not a Windows issue, though, I was just using the Windows issue to put off having to think about it :-)

OTOH it doesn't *hurt* to do it so if a conditional is hard to sort out (I'm thinking explicitly about pip vs python -mpip) we can just genericize it.
