Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
As a follow-up to gh-113039, this issue suggests we change the Windows build to avoid writing the generated frozen modules back into the source tree.
Quoting @zooba
I'm not sure where the relative path came from, but I don't like it. I'm also not a huge fan of generated files going back into the source tree (I prefer them in $(IntDir) so that read-only source trees are supported)
This is already the case on Linux and MacOS, so making Windows use $(IntDir) for these is also more consistent.
While we're there, consider also changing getpath.c again to include getpath.h, as suggested here.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
