[issue3561] Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable

We don't need to stay with some paradigm if it's not the best way. If I can get any of these ways to work, I may post some type of survey on python-dev.

Adding to the end wouldn't make this much of a feature. Most users have already put another Python into their path, so if they decide they want to add 3.3 to it, this option barely helps them.

Anyway, just about everything relating to this feature has been discussed on the above mentioned lists over a long period of time. The feature is implemented as is, it has already been released, and it's staying that way for 3.3. All we can do is tweak the GUI.
