I think the debate was about whether it can be "OEM ready",
even though you still need to pass the TARGETDIR parameter.

If it works for you, it works for me, of course.

Please do submit an issue in the bug tracker atleast, asking that the
files be renamed. Please confirm explicitly that renaming them would
also solve the problem (assuming you are still talking about the files
in distutils).

Please look in Tools/msi/msi.py for all occurrences of python_icon.exe.
