vendor-packages directory

Rich:

You made it to the States, then? How ironic, I've just been working in 
VA for nine years, but recently returned to Scotland and ended up living 
in Linlithgow, known to most Sun long-timers.

Hope mp is still providing good service.

Sorry to hijack your inquiry for personal reasons, but your name leaped 
out at me from the newsreader.

I'm not a developer so I can't really tell you whether that patch will 
be accepted. Since they are talking about "vendor supplied" software, 
there's really no reason why the vendor in question shouldn't make sure 
(probably by the addition of a .pth file) that the required directory is 
added to the search path.
