Summary: Win32 installer should add python's directory to system path

Initial Comment:
Win32 installer should add python's base directory to 
the system path to allow executing Python.exe 
anywhere. If you use an editor like SciTE a hotkey (F5) 
will start your script with a command line like:

pythonw.exe your_script.py

The system path must be set correctly to allow this 
command. This setting must be done on each machine 
with python installed. In a while classroom with 30 
machines it can be very cumbersome. An installation 
option would be useful in most cases, especially 
with "yes" default.

IIRC this worked in Python 2.3 and was broken in 2.4
