Summary: windows sys.path contains nonexistant directory

Initial Comment:
Starting in python 2.3, sys.path on Windows contains 
the nonexistant directory "c:\python23\lib\plat-win".

I don't know if this is really a bug, since we can no 
longer assume that an entry in sys.path exists or is a 
physical directory.  Still, it seems like each entry in 
sys.path should be able to resolve to SOMETHING.

I would've flagged this low priority if I had the capability.

Strange.  I see it under Python 2.1.3 too.  So it's not a new 
thing, but somehow 2.2.3 managed to get rid of it temporarily 
<wink>.  Boosting the priority to 4, since it's at least a 
mystery!
