Summary: patch to improve "find_platform_sdk_dir" in setup.py

Initial Comment:
The latest Platform SDK (the "Microsoft Windows Vista SDK") changes the directory and registry keys that identify where it is installed. This updates the method that finds that in "setup.py" to find it.

I hadn't noticed the addition of "# 4.  Vista's SDK" in an earlier change
to setup.py. I guess that match this patch a change to *prefer* using that
SDK if it is installed as well as older ones in the older "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Platform SDK" or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK"
