Summary: Doesn't work well as non-admin

Initial Comment:
win32com does not run very well as non-admin. It tries
to write cache files to a Program Files directory
(which can be changed, but only on a per-system basis
in HKLM) and register classes in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
without failing over to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Classes.

Since the gencache stuff has changed, I think win32com works a lot better.
Not using HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Classes is still a problem though.
