some details changed from 2.2b4 to 2.2 (final), so here we go:
* Lines 1415-1417 in the configuration file containing $(LINKCC) now
moved to
  1429-1431 (just in case anybody is searching for them), here, the
rest remains
  the same
* The path in which the three files (ld_so_aix, makexp_aix and
python.exp)
  should end up in now is <prefix>/lib/python2.2/conf (which means
that the conf
  has been added)

Thats' all. (Nothing two eyes can't see, you know?)

So, thanks for your Posting, Marco (I noticed that you where the
author of the Posting right after sending you the eMail ;-), you did a
good job!
It's a pity that your comments/help/bug report hasn't been included in
this final release of 2.2. Did you place a bug report on sourceforge?
see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470

Cheers,
Christian
