The filename or extension is too long when probing #23

Description

@mdavidsaver

Windows PVXS jobs for python 3.7+ have begun failing with FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long. A glance at a log suggests that this is triggered by passing a ludicrously long argument list to cl.exe. It seems like each compile() is appending a complete set of msvc include paths. So the first invocation has the list once, the second twice, the third repeats the list three times, and so on.

The Linux and OSX jobs don't show this. Neither do the MSVC jobs for py 3.5 and 3.6.

Maybe the consequence of a setuptools change?
