I'm getting closer to this, albeit in baby steps... :-)
Will surely write one up - as soon as I have this working.

If this doesn't workout, may have to just unpack the distros, use makefiles
for each and build the cross .so's that ways... Was hoping to levelrage all 
the work that has already gone into distutils / setuptools.

Thanks again,
