Comment:
I've made an updated version of the patch; because it's 55K, 
SF won't accept it, so I've put it at 
http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/files/python/pep229.patch.  

There are only a very few things left to fix at this point:

* setup.cfg hard-wires the installation directory
because it has no access to a variable holding the installation prefix

* installs in subdirectories don't work because setup.cfg is only found in
the current directory.

I think those are the only two remaining issues before this can be checked
in (doubtless causing the sun to explode).

Comment:
Not ready to be reviewed yet; I'm submitting this patch just to demonstrate
some progress.

This version of the patch just removes the use of makesetup in building the
interpreter, and hard-codes the presence of strop, posix, and _sre.  
Still to be done: write the top-level setup.py, and handle a few tricky
bits such as the signalmodule.
