Added support to solve the infamous "we want .py on Windows, no
extension elsewhere" problem, while also bypassing the need for PATHEXT
on Windows, and in fact the need to even write script files at all, for
any platform. Instead, you define "entry points" in your setup script,
in this case the names of the scripts you want (without extensions) and
the functions that should be imported and run to implement the scripts.
Setuptools will then generate platform-appropriate script files at
install time, including an .exe wrapper when installing on Windows.
