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

[Jeff Dean]

I just saw Brian Curtin's Pycon 2012 presentation.  If a goal is to make it easy for new users to run python, consider installing a desktop shortcut.  This would make it very easy for new users (easier than starting up a shell).

This is independent of the Path changes discussed here.  Those should be made (or not made) on their own merit, since most users will eventually need the Path to be properly adjusted.
