It should be noted in point 4, that you can create a symbolic link in Windows 7/Vista as well as Unix, using the mklink command (in this example, I created a bin directory under my user folder and added it to my path):
mklink \Users\CURRENT-USER\bin\django-admin.py WORKING-DIR\django-trunk\django\bin\django-admin.py

This had already been proposed in #6739 but a more generic modification of the docs was implemented instead.
