Please submit a patch to the installer, then.

I'm still skeptical about adding PATH, because
a) I find that fairly invasive, and despise long paths myself
   (it hurts my eyes to see the list of directories that VS adds to MY
   path)
b) it's actually fairly tricky to implement; in particular, removal on
   uninstallation is difficult.

On the other hand, adding a versioned executable in some directory that
is known to be on the path already is more easy, at least for a
per-machine installation: I guess \windows\system32 would be the right
location for such an executable. Placing files into system32 is fairly
easy with MSI (except for possible WoW64 problems - what if you install
both the 32-bit and the 64-bit Python 3.2 on the same machine).

Regards,
Martin
