With option (3), what happens if you run "launcher -console" from a command prompt? Does it produce output in the same console window, or does it launch a new console? That was a problem originally, which I have now fixed into (3') Install two binaries, extpy.exe, and extpyw.exe. With that approach, what do you think?

I tend to agree with Tim - I'm not at all sure what "install-on-first- use" is doing, and I don't think I care. All I care about are being able to not install the extensions (for alpha/beta releases) and being able to install them (for final releases). I don't have any problem that this feature could solve, so I don't have a valid reason to have an opinion...
