Is Python based on portable C? If so (I hope it is), then it's right not 
to wrap non-standard libraries as standard. But as Gnu is open source, 
it's a pretty handy place to get them! I needed them for an academic 
project, and it's harder to cite gnu source, but the next ones I want for 
real work I think I'll get that way!
