Then implication of this is that venv (and virtualenv, but that's less
relevant to python-dev) should be updated to use a "bin" directory on
Windows rather than the current "Scripts" directory. This would only
be for 3.4, which means that virtualenv will need to make the
directory name conditional on version, I guess.
