Summary: pythoncomloader.dll and undefined LoadLibraryEx behavior

Initial Comment:
MSDN's documentation for LoadLibraryEx states "The behavior is undefined when LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATHflag is set, and lpFileName specifiies a relative path."

com/win32com/src/PythonCOMLoader.cpp:          HMODULE hpycom = LoadLibraryEx(DLL_DELEGATE, NULL, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH);
setup.py:            ccargs.append('/DDLL_DELEGATE=\\"pythoncom%s.dll\\"' % (suffix,))

An absolute path should be used instead.
