[New-bugs-announce] [issue28551] sysconfig.py wrong _PROJECT_BASE for Py2.7 Windows 64bit PC/VS9.0

[Anselm Kruis]

New submission from Anselm Kruis:

Affected versions: 2.7.11, 2.7.12
Windows amd64 build with Visual Studio 2008 using the files in PC/VS9.0

If you run test_sysconfig using PC/VS9.0/rt.bat the test case test_get_config_h_filename fails.

The failure is caused by the migration of the build files from PCbuild to PC\VS9.0, because
Lib/sysconfig.py does not know this build location.

The attached patch fixes the problem.
