Why is the directory called "scripts" on Windows and "bin" on everything else?

To follow the convention of Python on Windows which puts the binaries in a Scripts dir, AFAIK.

Yes, if virtualenv doesn't follow the platform conventions (which are encoded into the distutils install schemes), then everything breaks.
