Don't thank me, thank Bill Gates for creating a wonderful operating system
where I get to ignore *all* the 57-varieties-of-Unix build headaches.
That's the only reason I'm so cheerful about supporting unbounded damage to
everyone else.  But, it's a good reason <wink>.

BTW, I didn't grok the CVS argument.  You don't change the name of the
directory, you change the name of the executable.  And the obvious name is
obvious to me:  python.exe <wink>.
