A Windows path uses ":" after the drive letter, e.g. "C:\\Windows", so the
delimiter is a semicolon on Windows. Other platforms use a colon.
CPython uses DELIM, which is defined in osdefs.h. This header isn't included by
Python.h.

New submission from Florian Walch:
The documentation for Py_SetPath [1] states:
> The path components should be separated by semicolons.
I believe this should not say "semicolons", but "colons"; the default path as
output by Py_GetPath is separated by colons.
