Does signing the .exe’s that ship with Python effect pip at all? I’m guessing 
not since pip.exe is actually a generic .exe that we use for any project and is 
shipped inside of the .whl files but I figured i’d ask.

Depending on the answer above, does it make sense to sign the generic .exe 
(does that even work if we rename it?) which will get used for anything that 
uses entry points on Windows?

Is there any plan to backport this to 2.7 (presumably after some experience is 
had with it in 3.5)?
