gyp installation on Windows does not install gyp.bat

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Checkout gyp sources.
2. Run python setup.py install on Windows.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: gyp.bat is copied to <Python installation folder>/Scripts.
Actual: only "svn/trunk/gyp" is copied to Scripts which is not sufficient to 
run gyp from command line on Windows.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MS Windows

Workaround is to just copy gyp.bat manually, or conditionally add gyp.bat to 
the scripts array in setup.py:

scripts = ['gyp'] if os.name != 'nt' else ['gyp', 'gyp.bat'],

Here's a patch:

I wonder how how this issue has been open for over 2 years. It's such a trivial 
fix, but wastes a lot of time for a person trying to figure out why gyp doesn't 
work.
