Unless something has changed in the past couple weeks, Python scripts do not 
run in Windows (although Python does run from within the wxGUI environment). 
That is, g.extension won't run from the MSys or Windows command window. I'm not 
sure if it will run even from the wxGUI menu. IMHO, it is very important that 
we solve this issue.
