Summary: distutils don't respect standard env variables

Initial Comment:
Using environment variables INCLUDE and LIB is a
standard way to set system-wide paths for C compilers.
However distutils.msvccompiler always overwrites these
variables with it's own values, which means users have
no way to customize their MSVC setups. It should
*append* the Python-specific stuff to the variables,
not overwrite them.
