Windows version of python stores sys.path in registry (run `regedit' to
modify).
It is I think HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Python.....  I don't know
exactly. There is I think a key `path' ant it contains subkeys `Lib', `Tk'
... with paths (strings).
I just added anotker key (I named it `my' and stored my own path as a
default value)
