Summary: build_scripts can use wrong #! line

Initial Comment:
When the build_scripts command is run, it places into
build/scripts a copy of the script with the #! line
modified to call the python version directly.  But if
you subsequently call setup.py with a different python
version, the script is not updated to use the correct
python executable path.

And I'd like someone else to have a look at this before I
apply it (if indeed I do), so I'm unassigning it from me.

Fair point.

Should be fairly easy to fix.  I'll have a go next week, but
feel free to submit a patch before then <wink>.

Uh, I guess maybe it doesn't bother you, but it sees an odd
inconsistancy that build_ext puts its generated files in
version-specific dirs, yet build_scripts makes no attempt to
handle it.

If you are never supposed to run setup.py with more than one
version of python then why does build_ext handle it?

So don't do that then?

Surely you're going to get problems with various other bits
of distutils if you're not consistent about which Python you
run setup.py with?

Very much inclined to close this...
