Unix, it starts with sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix (if different) and
appends lib/python<version>/site-packages as well as lib/site-python.
On other platforms (mainly Mac and Windows), it uses just sys.prefix

resulting directories, if they exist, are appended to sys.path, and
also inspected for path configuration files.

Note that for some non-Unix systems, sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix
are empty, and then the path manipulations are skipped; however the
import of sitecustomize is still attempted.
