[XML-SIG] small installation problem

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

Harri,
  This is (in part) a distutils issue.  The distutils package should
always create this directory if it doesn't exist.  Raw Python
installations should not create it, since adding it to the search path 
would slow down the module search.
  Greg, I don't know if you're reading the XML-SIG list, so I'm adding 
the distutils list to the list of recipients.
