Environment should inherit more #171

Description

@gvanrossum

I just debugged (with @zooba's help) why building extensions like greenlet or psutil from source didn't work on Windows. We clean the environment too well, and two essential variables, "ProgramFiles" and "ProgramFiles(x86)", are erased, causing setuptools to fail finding the MSVC compiler. (Roughly here, though the error comes from here.)
