build executables for trial, twistd, manhole, etc. on Windows (if setuptools is installed)

New submission from zooko <[email protected]>:

I wanted to run {{{trial}}} on Windows.  I started with the Twisted 8.2.0 source distribution, and ran {{{python ./setup.py install}}}, which seemed to succeed and even printed out encouraging messages about installing {{{trial}}} and {{{twistd}}} and so forth.  Then I ran {{{trial --version}}}, but it said:

{{{
'trial' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
}}}

I then installed setuptools on this Windows box and tried again, with the same result.

Then I applied the following patch to Twisted's {{{setup.py}}} and installed again. (I now have setuptools installed on this Windows system, so the "setuptools branch" of Twisted's {{{setup.py}}} is used -- this is the same thing that happens if someone runs {{{easy_install Twisted}}}.)  This time when I run {{{trial}}} it executes correctly!  Hooray!

{{{
>trial --version
Twisted version: 8.2.0
}}}
