You'd probably have to just copy pythonv.exe to an appropriate
directory, and have it use the configuration file to find the "real"
prefix. At least, that'd be a relatively obvious way to do it,
and it
would have the advantage of being symmetrical across platforms: just
copy or symlink pythonv, and make sure the real prefix is in your
config file.
(Windows does have "shortcuts" but I don't think that there's any
way
for a linked program to know *which* shortcut it was launched from.)
No automatic way, but shortcuts can include parameters, not just
the program name. So a parameter could be --prefix as was
suggested in another response, but for a different reason.
Shortcuts don't work from the shell (well, cmd.exe, at least), do
they? Can't test from here.
They do if you add .lnk to your PATHEXT environment variable.
