New issue 111: py.test installation instructions bad for windows machines

Description:
  I am referring to these:
http://codespeak.net/py/dist/install.html

When installing py.test, the main python installation adirectory and Scripts 
subdir (e.g. "C:\Python2.6\" and "C:\Python2.6\Scripts") must be added to the 
windows path.

This issue is only mentioned in the "troubleshooting" section, which points 
here: 
"http://docs.python.org/faq/windows#how-do-i-run-a-python-program-under-windows";.
 However, this link does not mention the need to add the <python>\Scripts 
directory, so it really does not help the user at all.

On a side note, I think the installation guide is too complicated. Anything 
that requires more than zero thought and 30 seconds is deterring users who are 
"shopping" for testing frameworks.
