Completely revamped the way the default path is constructed.

Idea and first three implementation rounds due to Barry -- after that
I spent another day on it, hopefully it's enough for now :-)

(Wait for the checkin to Setup.in.)

/* Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.
*
* Two directories must be found, the platform independent directory
* (prefix), containing the common .py and .pyc files, and the
* platform dependent directory (exec_prefix), containing the shared
* library modules. Note that prefix and exec_prefix can be the same
* directory, but for some installations, they are different.
*
* Py_GetPath() carries out separate searches for prefix and
* exec_prefix. Each search tries a number of different locations
* until a ``landmark'' file or directory is found. If no prefix or
* exec_prefix is found, a warning message is issued and the
* preprocessor defines PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX are used (even though
* they will not work); python carries on as best as is possible, but
* most imports will fail.
*
* Before any searches are done, the location of the executable is
* determined. If argv[0] has a slash in it (or more), this is it;
* otherwise, it must have been invoked from the shell's path, so we
* search $PATH for the named executable and use that. If the
* executable was not found on $PATH (or there was no $PATH
* environment variable), the original argv[0] string is used.
*
* Next, either the executable location is examined to see if it is a
* symbolic link. If so, the link is chased (correctly interpreting a
* relative pathname if one is found) and the directory of the link
* target is used as instead.
*
* Finally, argv0_path is set to the directory containing the
* executable (i.e. the last component is stripped).
*
* With argv0_path in hand, we perform a number of steps. The same
* steps are performed for prefix and for exec_prefix, but with a
* different landmark.
*
* Step 1. Are we running python out of the build directory? This is
* checked by looking for a different kind of landmark relative to
* argv0_path. For prefix, the landmark's path is derived from the
* VPATH preprocessor variable (taking into account that its value is
* almost, but not quite, what we need). If the landmark is found,
* we're done.
*
* For the remaining steps, the prefix landmark will always be
* lib/python$VERSION/string.py and the exec_prefix will always be
* lib/python$VERSION/sharedmodules, where $VERSION is Python's
* version number as supplied by the Makefile. Note that this means
* that no more build directory checking is performed; if the first
* two steps did not find the landmarks, the assumption is that python
* is running from an installed setup.
*
* Step 2. See if the $PYTHONHOME environment variable points to the
* installed location of the Python libraries. If $PYTHONHOME is set,
* then it points to prefix and exec_prefix. $PYTHONHOME can be a
* single directory, which is used for both, or the prefix and
* exec_prefix directories separated by a colon.
*
* Step 3. Try to find prefix and exec_prefix relative to argv0_path,
* backtracking up the path until it is exhausted. This is the most
* common step to succeed. Note that if prefix and exec_prefix are
* different, exec_prefix is more likely to be found; however if
* exec_prefix is a subdirectory of prefix, both will be found.
*
* Step 4. Search the directories pointed to by the preprocessor
* variables PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX. These are supplied by the
* Makefile but can be passed in as options to the configure script.
*
* Step 5. Search some `standard' directories, namely: /usr/local,
* /usr, then finally /.
*
* That's it! Well, almost. Once we have determined prefix and
* exec_prefix, the preprocesor variable PYTHONPATH is used to
* construct a path. Each relative path on PYTHONPATH is prefixed
* with prefix. Then the directory containing the shared library
* modules is appended. The environment variable $PYTHONPATH is
* inserted in front of it all. Finally, the prefix and exec_prefix
* globals are tweaked so the reflect the values expected by other
* code, by stripping the "lib/python$VERSION/..." stuff off. If
* either points to the build directory, the globals are reset to the
* corresponding preprocessor variables (so sys.prefix will reflect
* the installation location, even though sys.path points into the
* build directory). This seems to make more sense given that
* currently the only known use of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix is
* for the ILU installation process to find the installed Python tree. */
