[mod_python] How to make mod_python (Win32) not to rely onregistrykey?

For what he was trying to do, this was not an option. See:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-June/021453.html
  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-June/021456.html

In short, he wants to be able to run stuff off a USB drive and avoid
having to make modifications to the Win32 registry or anywhere'
else outside of the Apache configuration itself.

I unfortunately don't know anything about how Python is configured
on Win32 so it knows where to find things.

If anyone else has suggestions, would be appreciated.
