There appear to be problems with pex on Windows. I've reported a
couple of bugs, which appear to have been fixed (although I don't know
the timeframe, I lost interest before a fix was implemented). But
there are new ones I just found on a quick test.

I'd like pex to work, it looks like a nice tool. But I don't want to
be their Windows support resource, and it seems like they may not
currently have anyone else :-)
