Sounds OK to me, but if I knew much about this area I'd have covered it in
the PEP :-)

One question: Should sys.extinstallpath be set for all platforms? Cleanrly,
nothing but Windows will use it at present, but is there a meaningful value
it could have on other platforms? If so, exposing it uniformly seems
sensible.
