I think the best we can do is to document that for some installations 
you might need to set PYTHONHOME. I don't think we can figure it out at 
runtime (we could then use setenv to fix it). This is similar to having 
to set PYTHONPATH if you want to import code installed in virtualenvs or 
other nonstandard locations.

I'm leaning towards just documenting, mucking around with environment 
variables from inside of Postgres' shared libraries seems like a recipe 
for disaster.
