And thank goodness for Un*x, where I get to ignore all the 69
different varieties of The One True Operating System -- all Windows

Even a Un*x dweeb like myself would agree, if you have to change one

procedure couldn't drop a symlink from python.exe to python for
backwards compatibility and convenience.
