Summary: --install-base not honored on win32

Initial Comment:
The --install-base options isn't honored on win32
because code in install.finalize_others() in install.py
overwrites the value with either self.home,
self.prefix, or sys.prefix.

I was trying to use --install-base because --prefix
won't accept an absolute path on win32.  Does anyone
know the rationale for rejecting absolute paths on win32?
