--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end
of the installation and at the start of deinstallation. Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.
sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.
The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:
create_shortcut(path, description, filename,
[arguments[, workdir[, iconpath, iconindex]]])
Recreated this file after source changes.
installations are present, by always unlinking the destination file
before copying to it. Without the unlink(), the copied file remains
owned by its previous UID, causing the subsequent chmod() to fail.
Bugfix candidate, though it may cause changes on platforms where
file ownership behaves differently.

This means that install_scripts will now print

present - at least the swigged file should be named <name>_wrap.c as
this is also SWIG's default. (Even better would be to generate the
wrapped sources in a different location, but I'll leave this for
later).
Newer versions of SWIG don't accept the -dnone flag any more.
Since virtually nobody uses SWIG with distutils, this should do no
harm.

crashes.
If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.

distutils for the library modules built as shared objects. A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.
bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.
Avoid a bogus warning frpom install_lib about installing
into a directory not on sys.path.
