[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

As discussed in Distutils-SIG.

Here's a patch for site.py that adds:

- getsitepackages : Returns a list containing all global site-packages
directories (and possibly site-python).

- getusersitepackages: Returns the user-specific site-packages directory
path.

- getuserbase: Returns the `user base` directory path.
