Just to be clear, the .bat files in the Cygwin Python package are part
of the standard distribution and were not added by me.

On Cygwin, we have the following:

    $ cygcheck -l python | fgrep .bat
    /usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/macholib/fetch_macholib.bat
    /usr/lib/python2.5/idlelib/idle.bat

In a random Linux package, we have the following:

    $ (wget -O - ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/development/i386/os/Packages/python-2.5.1-30.fc10.i386.rpm | rpm2cpio | cpio -it) 2>/dev/null | fgrep .bat
    ./usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/macholib/fetch_macholib.bat
    ./usr/lib/python2.5/idlelib/idle.bat
