This is very nice, and seems to work well for me :)

It appears the shortcut properties for this build are:

\Program Files\Python\Lib\python.exe "\Program
Files\Python\Lib\setup-registry.py"

It probably should drop all paths (ie, simply "python.exe
setup-registry.py").  Then I noticed that "setup-registry.py" hardcodes the
name of the executable - sys.executable seems to work, so once I replace it
with that, everyone was happy :)

Note that if "setup-registry.py" was named "setup_registry.py", alternative
instructions could be simply "import setup_registry"!
