	I should emphasize that this is with the /same/ x.y version...
Installing 3.3 when the previous was 3.2 won't overlay.

	Though I don't see anything in the ActiveState builds (which are all
I've ever used) to handle the #! type selection of the desired version.
Just got done updating my 2.7, replacing 3.2 with 3.3, and then having to
edit my path to make 2.7 primary... No "py.exe"
