Path detection of GV .EXEs fails on WIN7 64 bit.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install pydot
2. Try creating a .jpg of a graph.
3. Observe that pydot fails to find the .EXEs of GV

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect pydot to find the executables :)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.2. Windows 7 64 bit.

Please provide any additional information below.
First of all you should know that the executables that pydot needs are 
found in the directory - C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.26.3\bin .

The first method for detecting the path of the executables (using pywin32) 
doesnt work. I had to delete the first case, and put C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Graphviz2.26.3\bin in the PATH, and then everything was fine :).

• Merged into: find_graphviz() fails on Windows with GraphViz 2.26.3 #37

As pointed out by a commented Issue 37 already proposes how to solve this one.
