[issue10747] Include version info in Windows shortcuts

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

This issue is to propose specific wording to Martin for inclusion of version details in the Windows shortcuts. This is to make the shortcuts easier to use when the hierarchical menu information is lost for any reason (e.g frequently used program list, searching the start menu, copied to desktop).

Shortcuts currently installed:
- Python (command line)
- Python Manuals
- Module Docs
- IDLE (Python GUI)
- Uninstall Python

Initial proposal for 32 bit builds:
- Python 3.2 (command line - 32 bit)
- Python 3.2 Manuals
- Python 3.2 Docs Server (pydoc - 32 bit)
- IDLE (Python 3.2 GUI - 32 bit)
- Uninstall Python 3.2 (32 bit)

Initial proposal for 64 bit builds:
- Python 3.2 (command line - 64 bit)
- Python 3.2 Manuals
- Python 3.2 Docs Server (pydoc - 64 bit)
- IDLE (Python 3.2 GUI - 64 bit)
- Uninstall Python 3.2 (64 bit)

Any feedback/alternate suggestions/bikeshedding on the python-dev thread, please ;)
