Yes, it is.  To me, the whole Windows platform is some sort of ugly
black voodoo, as you can see from the snippets I sent, it works for
me.  Just as the previous release worked somewhat, except for argv0
relocation and dll loading.

I have leant that if something on windows `works for me', that's a
very useful first step, but it quite possibly doesn't work for you.

Any windows gurus want to step in here?

I do not think that PYTHONHOME will work, because it is in disharmony
with the directory layout that make install creates.  PYTHONPATH
should work...

Hmm, how odd.  It is advertised that on Windows, argv0 is always an
absolute file name.  Anyway, this should be an easy fix
