This matters quite a bit, I think.

That matters too: we've spent enough time nattering on about that to

I don't give a *&&^^& what the icon is.
I don't know why, but somehow I feel better about depending on Bob I.,

There does need to be a mention of other Python installers somewhere
anyway, and ActiveState should certainly be listed.
