A few more observations to do with installation:

1. It's been mentioned that a standalone version should be available for use
with earlier Python versions. This could be done with a merge module which can
be used either with a standalone installer or the Python .msi.
2. For the standalone MSI, we will most likely need separate 32-bit and 64-bit
MSIs, because the MSI system will look at the MSI type to determine whether
registry stuff goes in the main registry or the Wow6432Node used for 32-bit
applications.
