Summary: Win32: pydoc command isn't executable

Initial Comment:
The Python 2.1b1 binary installer for Windows supplies 
a small "pydoc" script in the main Python executable 
directory. However, this script is Unix-specific and 
does not work on Windows.

Suggestion: for Windows, include a trivial pydoc.bat 
file to start pydoc. The following one-liner works:

--- pydoc.bat ---
@python -c "import pydoc; pydoc.cli()" %*
-----------------

The only problem with this version is that it uses the 
version of python.exe found on PATH, rather than the 
version in the directory containing pydoc.bat. 
However, as the Unix script has the same issue, this 
can be viewed as a "feature"...
