It starts by constructing up to four directories from a head and a
tail part. For the head part, it uses \code{sys.prefix} and
\code{sys.exec_prefix}; empty heads are skipped. For
the tail part, it uses the empty string (on Windows) or
\file{lib/python\shortversion/site-packages} (on \UNIX{} and Macintosh)
and then \file{lib/site-python}. For each of the distinct
head-tail combinations, it sees if it refers to an existing directory,
and if so, adds it to \code{sys.path} and also inspects the newly added
path for configuration files.
