I was trying out the bootstrap script on WindowsXP with Python2.4

I used the command
go-pylons.py --no-site-packages mydevenv

and had several problems with the ``after_install``:

* ``join(home_dir, 'bin')`` is wrong on windows (``Scripts`` instead
of ``bin`) ,
  the docstring example in the original virtualenv.py for
``create_bootstrap_script`` is wrong for Windows
  changes: used bin_dir instead (conditional definition as in rest of
virtualenv.py)
{{{
    if sys.platform == 'win32':
        lib_dir = join(home_dir, 'Lib')
        bin_dir = join(home_dir, 'Scripts')
    else:
        lib_dir = join(home_dir, 'lib', py_version)
        bin_dir = join(home_dir, 'bin')
}}}
* compiling extensions does not work in virtualenv, mingw does not
find ``-lpython24``
  - jinja: C extension for speedup is not installed
  - simplejson: C extension for speedup is not installed
* Mercurial does not install correctly, cannot be compiled
  - checkout with hg of virtualenv fails
  - Solution:
     - do not install mercurial, use system ``hg`` instead, I have hg
in standard python installation
     - in subprocess call replace local hg by system hg
{{{
        subprocess.call(['hg',
            'clone', 'https://www.knowledgetap.com/hg/%s' % name,
            join(home_dir, name)])
}}}

* after this it finishes without any further error messages

I haven't done yet any testing or projects to see if everything in
this virtual environment works correctly, but previously, without any
bootstrap script, I didn't have any problems once the installation
finished successfully.
