The windows distribution (I'm currently looking at 
2.5b3) does not contain a Demo directory, and the 
Tools directory contains only five subdirectories 
(i18n, pynche, Scripts, versioncheck, webchecker)

SVN Head lists 20 directories under Demo and 17 under 
Tools.

At a first pass, all except tools/audiopy (Solaris 
specific) are relevant on Windows, and some tools 
(such as freeze, msi) even have windows-specific code.

I've marked it 2.5 because consistency with other 
platforms seems like a bugfix, even if it does 
introduce new features to windows.  (And note that it 
only adds new files that are not on the standard path, 
which should limit the risks.)

This must wait until 2.5.1; more likely 2.6.

The Windows distribution was structured that way always, so
it's not a regression.

"Consistency with other platforms" is not a valid argument:
there are no binary distributions for other platforms except
for OSX (whether that includes Tools or Demo, I don't know).
The source distribution for Windows is the very same as the
source distribution for other platforms, and it does include
Tools and Demo, so it's (trivially) consistent.

I don't think the Demo directory should be included. The
equivalent of a binary distribution on Unix (make install)
doesn't install the Demos, either.

As for the Tools directory: this traditionally includes
directories on a per-request basis. If there is an actual
need for another tool, it should be added.

I'm closing it as "won't fix". If you have specific tools that you would
like to see included, please submit that as a separate report, along
with a rationale as to why you want to see them included.
