[finding Tools/i18n/pygettext.py]

Agreed. Maybe with the introduction of -m in Python 2.4, some of the Tools/
scripts could be put in __main__ sections of appropriate modules? So that
"python -m gettext" would be equivilant to "python Tools/i18n/pygettext.py"?
(However, pyggettext.py is 22KB, which is a big addition to the module; not
everything in Tools/Scripts might be used enough for this, or have an
appopriate module to be put in either).
Are there other ideas about how Tools/ could be improved? Either moving
things, or making it more likely that people will look there for scripts?
