New submission from John Burnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

http://docs.python.org/inst/alt-install-windows.html

The above says "Windows has no concept of a user's home directory, and
since the standard Python installation under Windows is simpler than
under Unix, the --prefix option has traditionally been used to install
additional packages in separate locations on Windows."

However, any modern Windows OS does have that concept (i.e. see the
%USERPROFILE% env variable).  Not sure how to best change the above, but...
