I still am dumbfounded that this wasn’t platform I dependent in the first
place, but you know what essay about hindsight.
However, I’m no Windows expert, but I *think* the modern Windows file

but maybe it’s possible to

This actually works great! If the "Scripts" folder does not exist, it
uses "bin".

In theory, yes. In practice, if that worked, we wouldn't get people

I'd recommend writing a virtualenv plugin that configures
