Description
On Windows, after building a python.exe, before using it to run pyperformance, you need to run a special command PC\layout, which creates an installed-like tree structure, and then use the python.exe from that tree. It would be nice if this was automatically done by the compile command.
See https://github.com/python/pyperformance/issues/148#issuecomment-1081867800 and ff. for more details.

Research direction
Start with the compile command and its Windows path for building python.exe. Check how the command currently prepares the executable before running pyperformance, then make the PC\layout step automatic and use the python.exe from the resulting tree. Done means Windows compile runs pyperformance successfully without a manual layout command.
