pygettext.py lives in a subdirectory under the Tools directory.  Such things
never get into the Windows distro unless somebody specifically asks for
them -- they're generally undocumented and have no test cases.  I'd be happy
to add the Tools/i18n/ subdirectory anyway, it's simply that nobody
requested it.

The status of the Tools and Demo directories is muddy.  No docs, no tests,
much of it is platform-specific, and some is so old that it doesn't work at
all anymore.
