Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #640, comment 4

12	12	> Q2: Can any of the complexity in ./bin/tahoe be removed?
13	13
14		Yes. Most of the complexity is just due to the fact that we have two scripts (this one and {{{/support/bin/tahoe}}}). The reason why we need two scripts is that the one generated by setuptools doesn't set up the {{{sys.path}}} as we want, and setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable is the documented way to change the initial {{{sys.path}}}. The Windows-specific code is necessary in order to pass on Unicode arguments correctly to the second script, which would not be needed if we only had one script.
