Just place in your PYTHONHOME (e.g. c:\Python21 in a typical
standard Python 2.1 installation on Win32) a textfile with any
name, extension .pth, and, one per line, the directories you
want to be added to the sys.path on startup.  site.py, which
runs at each startup of Python, will build your sys.path
accordingly.
