contains the generic motivation and introduction for version control.

*is* going to want to teach a specific tool, and we want instructors
to easily be able to find and integrate notes for the tool they
choose.

This setup doesn't assume that there is a single canonical set of
notes for a given tool.  If you don't like the branches I've listed,
write up your own.  If you tell me about it, I'll add a link to your
branch as well, and we can try and work up some short descriptions to
help new instructors differentiate between the two approaches.

The choices are in the format used by `git request-pull`, so you can

  $ git merge $CHOICE

  $ git merge git://github.com/wking/swc-boot-camps.git version-control-git

extracted the svn.html history from the guide repository:

1. Start a new branch in the earlier guide repository:

  $ git checkout -b wip d013cab

2. Limit history to svn.html:

  $ git filter-branch -f --prune-empty \
  > --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch $(git ls-files | grep -v svn.html)' \
  > HEAD

3. Drop no-op merges:

  $ git rebase -i 0025ac4

Then I cherry-picked my original boot-camps commit (c1330e0) onto the
result to create this commit:

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

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 ;).
