[mod_python] How to make mod_python (Win32) not to rely on registry key?

The SetEnv directive only affects environment variables inherited by
CGI scripts. It does not affect the environment of Apache itself and
thus does not affect the environment of mod_python. In order to add
extra directories into the Python module search path, use the
PythonPath directive as documented in the mod_python documentation.
