On Windows it can't be a shell script or batch file, but needs to be an
executable. setuptools already deals with this.

Why ? The script-wrapping feature Setuptools has is on my radar for
d2, but I am not sure why it's an advantage in that case.

It can't be a batch file because then it can't be called from other batch files (without using the "call" syntax). I guess there are other options like using WSH (or newer technology), but then you have to pick your target OS carefully.

I think the setuptools approach is the preferred solution, although of course it's a hassle.
