I know I am wandering a bit off topic. 

But tangentially on topic - is the possibility of getting enough of the
win32all API functions into the core distribution to give more Windows
standard functionality to disutils - start menu entries in particular.

I won't get wordy on why I think this would be a very good thing.  But if my
guess (which is all it is) that it would only require small bits of win32all
is correct, the return on investment would be, I believe, tremendous.
