So, this line isn't written by me, it's written by setuptools when it  
installs the scriptfile. The bdist_egg is suppose to be cross  
platform but this must be a bug/oversight. I'm wondering if this  
issue is specific to bdist_egg or if source tarball installs have the  
same issue with setuptools.

I'll look in to this sometime this week, but it's very odd. If anyone  
else is very familiar with setuptools I'd appreciate the input as well.

Very very odd.
