Comment (by davidsarah):
This ticket introduced some newly written code that calls Windows APIs
from Python, which is tricky and error-prone:
* [source:src/allmydata/windows/fixups.py], which sets up Unicode output
streams and retrieves Unicode command-line arguments.
* [source:setuptools-0.6c16dev3.egg/setuptools/command/scriptsetup.py],
which changes the registry in order to add ".pyscript" and ".pyw" to the
PATHEXT environment variable and associate ".pyscript" with the Python
interpreter.
Ideally these would be reviewed by someone familiar with Python on
Windows.
