New submission from Steve Dower:

On Windows, we sign all binaries with the PSF code signing certificate.

We can also sign all the standard library and tools .py files using a catalog, 
which will put the hashes of the original files into a signed bundle. This can 
then be validated by users (e.g. using "signtool.exe verify") at any point 
after installation. Worth noting that the OS does not automatically verify 
signatures in a catalog file.

It's only worthwhile doing this for files that may end up on a production 
machine - essentially, those files included in lib.msi and tools.msi (not 
test.msi, dev.msi or tcltk.msi).
