most probably, but i thought first i'll pursue a more general fix for
this. i will fall back to just patching upstream if i fail.

not sure how to do this. looking at python-build-system.scm it looks
like there is no way to tell it to use wrap-script, so i went ahead
and just changed the wrap-program call to wrap-script globally, and
gave it a try.

the first error i encountered was in the package called scons. it has
.bat files that wrap-script fails on. if i delete them in a snippet,
then scons' own build system errors out.

any hints on how to proceed from here?

was this what you meant at all?

would it be a worthwhile improvement to hack my way through this path
at all?

shall i try to make it configurable from the package's definition,
change the default, and force it back to wrap-program for packages
that fail with wrap-script?
