swc-installation-test-2.py: Prefer pip to easy_install
For virtual-pypi-installer. easy_install is part of Setuptools [1],
which was dead for several years. The Distribute fork took over, but
has since been merged back into a revitalized Setuptools (since
Setuptools v0.7 [2], tagged on 2013-06-02 [3]). Pip >= v1.4 actually
requires a modern Setuptools, not Distribute [4]. Pip also improves
on easy_install [5], which does not currently support uninstalling
packages [6].

Environment variable it is! From the Microsoft docs [1]:
CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESX86
The Program Files folder on 64-bit systems. A typical path is
C:\Program Files(86).
...
CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES
Version 5.0. The Program Files folder. A typical path is
C:\Program Files.
...
PROGRAMFILES
Same as CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES.
PROGRAMFILES(X86)
Refers to the C:\Program Files (x86) folder on 64-bit systems.
We're just looking for executables, so it would be ok if we found a
32-bit Notepad++ or a 64-bit Notepad++. With this commit, we check
both locations (if there are two distinct locations).

swc-installation-test-2.py: Also look for extension-less paths
Before this commit, CommandDependency checked self.command (with an
optional extension determined by distutils). If that check failed to
produce a version stream, we cycled through a list of additional
hard-coded paths. For example: Notepad++ used:
self.command = 'notepad++'
self.paths = [
_os.path.join(
_ROOT_PATH, 'Program Files', 'Notepad++', 'notepad++.exe'),
]
Because some MS Windows commands lack the expected '.exe' extension,
but are still present and detected by a number of shells, we should
also look for the extension-less version of the command.
I consolidated the _get_version_stream() logic to build a single list
of paths and loop through it looking for success (and accumulating
errors). This makes the handling of self.paths less of a special
case, and sets us up for any additional path mangling we may need to
support other poorly standardized OSes ;).

swc-installation-test-2.py: Add CommandDependency.paths fallbacks
The old CommandDependency implementation assumed that commands would
exist in one of the directories listed in PATH. This assumption is,
unfortunately, often not satisfied on MS Windows or OS X. In order to
work around this problem, you can now store a list of fallback paths
that will be tried if there is an error extracting the version stream
from the bare CommandDependency.command.
I've added fallback paths for Notepad++, Firefox, and Google Chrome,
as reported by Ethan White for Windows 7.

swc-installation-test-2.py: Use _ROOT_PATH for MS Windows compatability
I don't think starting a path with os.sep gives you a root path on
Windows. We need the backslash in _ROOT_PATH, because:

gives 'c:foo', a path relative to the current directory on drive C: [1].

swc-installation-test-2.py: Link directly to install docs
Expecting the Software Carpentry maintainers to keep up-to-date
documentation for each system/package pair is not realistic. Instead,
link to each package's installation instructions (as best I can find
them). The system/version/package globbing (using fnmatch, see
glob(7)) makes it easy to setup per-system and per-version URLs if you
want to fine-tune the instructions.

The system information is useful for troubleshooting a student's

themselves. Turn off this troubleshooting information by default and

If we didn't have to maintain support for Python 2.6, we could use
argparse instead of optparse. The optparse module is deprecated for
2.7, 3.2, and later, but it is still part of the stdandard library.

Use distutils' new_compiler() to get the appropriate exe_extension for

can't get very fancy with boolean logic, but an all-and and all-or
