I put a py.test.bat into my C:\Python23\Scripts directory and added that 
to my path. Now I can just use it by typing "py.test ...". So where is the 
problem? Does it really need to be called py.test? You could write two 
files, one names py.test for unix and one py.test.bat/py.test.cmd and just 
install both into a directory which is in the path. Then it works the same 
on both unix and windows.
