Are there any actual Windows users (I'm not) on this list (besides Bill) who have an opinion about this ?

Andi..

We are distributing Java as a subcomponent (a subfolder next to the embedded Python) under Windows, and we modify the PATH variable with sitecustomize.py to point to this jvm.dll. So this would collide with our setup.

Although, one can argue that embedding Java is bad style, and using the systemwide installation is the way to go, I like to minimize dependencies. And loosing some Megabytes is not that relevant if you build "server" and not "enduser" software.

But since I see the benefits of the "java auto-detection" too, a documented switch to turn this behaviour off (assuming that its default "on") would be ok.
