Summary: build_ssl can't find ActiveState Perl from unusual locations

Initial Comment:
Downloaded Python 2.3.3 and tried building it with VC++
7.1 on Windows XP. Got an error message that my cygwin
perl is the only perl installed on my system and I need
ActiveState Perl. Trouble is, I do have that, but it is
installed in a non-standard location. The build_ssl.py
only looks in two directories for versions of perl. I
suggest it should additionally do "which perl" or
something similar to find the first Perl in the users path.
