Fix some outdated comments (mostly by removing a large comment block

that was only causing confusing).  Add free(userpath) and
free(machinepath) statements to prevent some leaks.

/* Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.
*
* This version always returns "" for both prefix and exec_prefix.
*
* Py_GetPath() tries to return a sensible Python module search path.
*
* First, we look to see if the executable is in a subdirectory of
* the Python build directory. We calculate the full path of the
* directory containing the executable as progpath. We work backwards
* along progpath and look for $dir/Modules/Setup.in, a distinctive
* landmark. If found, we use $dir/Lib as $root. The returned
* Python path is the compiled #define PYTHONPATH with all the initial
* "./lib" replaced by $root.
*
* Otherwise, if there is a PYTHONPATH environment variable, we return that.
*
* Otherwise we try to find $progpath/lib/string.py, and if found, then
* root is $progpath/lib, and we return Python path as compiled PYTHONPATH
* with all "./lib" replaced by $root (as above).
*
* The approach is an adaptation for Windows of the strategy used in
* ../Modules/getpath.c; it uses the Windows Registry as one of its
* information sources.
