Ja; except that that begs the question -- sh.exe could be a symlink,
as it often is to bash. In fact it isn't even important for me to
invoke python in that case; I just need to detect it and avoid it.
No, 'sh.exe' won't be a symlink unless someone has made it so. 'setup.exe'
creates 'sh.exe' as a copy for exactly the reasons you found.
