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
