[Zope-Perl] building pyperl on Windows

[Chris McDonough]

I was wrong about this.

sys.prefix is defined in Windows.  It just shows up as a blank string if you
don't find "python.exe" in the path in which the support files reside
(although it finds everything else OK for whatever reason).  I had a copy of
"python.exe" in my WINNT/system32 dir and that caused the problem.
