No. Things like Mark Hammonds win32 packages for Python that add a huge amount
of Windows specific functionality: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

I think Daniel Berger and some others are working on a lot of win32 specific
stuff for Ruby that may one day be comparable to that:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/

Also, simple things like having an MSI based installer for large scale
installations (install across an entire domain for example).
