Recent versions of GPS pass the contents of the variable GPS_PYTHONHOME to its
Python interpreter. (We did use "PYTHONHOME" before, but found out some cases in
which this interfered too much with the users' environment).

You are probably not far from succeeding with the recent version. Don't hesitate
to post problems here - it's possible that someone has solved them before.
