Summary: Having system32 in sys.path causes problems for services

Initial Comment:
If system32 is on sys.path and a script is run as a
Windows service, then it may die when it finds a
zlib.dll in system32 before it tries to find one in
PythonXX\DLLs.

In Mark's own words:

"I think that for a service (or for any Python program
for that matter), we don't want system32 on sys.path"
