swc-installation-test-2.py: Don't print duplicate exceptions

For example, if you have an outdated 'python', you only want to hear
about that once, not once for each PythonPackageDependency.

swc-installation-test-2.py: Add exe_extension for MS Windows compat.

Use distutils' new_compiler() to get the appropriate exe_extension for
the user's system.  This way command names can always be specified in
their bare form, and we'll automatically add the right executable
extension for other platforms.

Often we don't care which editor is installed, so long as at least one
is installed.  This commit tweaks Dependency and adds a
VirtualDependency class to support such virtual dependencies.  You
can't get very fancy with boolean logic, but an all-and and all-or
lists will probably be sufficient for our needs.
