+# On 'semi-native' build systems (MSYS*/Cygwin targeting MinGW-w64)
+# _sysconfigdata.py will contain paths that are correct only in the
+# build environment. This means external modules will fail to build
+# without setting up the same env and also that the build of Python
+# itself will fail as the paths are not correct for the host tools.
+#
+# Also, getpath.c uses GetModuleFileNameW (replacing \ with /) and
+# compares that with the define VPATH (passed in via command-line)
+# to determine whether it's the build- or the installed-Python.
+#
+# To work around these issues a set of _b2h variables are created:
+# VPATH_b2h, prefix_b2h, srcdir_b2h, abs_srcdir_b2h
+# and abs_builddir_b2h
+# .. where b2h stands for build to host. sysconfig.py replaces path
+# prefixes matching the non-b2h versions with the b2h equivalents.
+#
+# (note this assumes the host compilers are native and *not* cross
+#  - in the 'semi-native' scenario only that is.)
