One more thing. I'd like the launcher app's name to begin with "Py". Maybe PyLaunch.exe or PyStart.exe?

I now call them extpy.exe and extpyw.exe. I deliberately avoided a py prefix, as this really hurts tab completion if you interactively hit c:\py\py. I actually want to ban py.ico for that very reason from the python directory.
