New submission from Brian Curtin <br...@python.org>:

Attached is a patch, originally written by Van Lindberg*, which changes 
Python's layout on Windows to more match all of the other operating systems we 
support. This patch starts by changing the layout of virtual environments, so 
the venv module creates an environment with the same layout you'd find on 
Linux. The most visible change is the Scripts folder becoming bin, and there 
are changes to capitalization of folders to match that of Linux as well.

If this is acceptable I can do the Windows installer change to have the 
installed layout follow what's in this patch.


* Van asked me to take this on for him. I will make sure he has a contributor 
agreement on file.
