That sentence however does not refer to the name of the installed Python
binary, but the binary as it is built in the source tree (or a build
directory).  And there we chose to call it "python.exe" because we
couldn't call it "python" because there is already a directory named
"Python", which (on the default case-insensitive filesystem) conflicts
with the executable name.
