Urk. I just downloaded 2.2a1, and the sysconfig.py change isn't in :-(
Attached are a couple of possible patches - one which just tweaks Windows
(os.name is 'nt' for Win9x???) and another which tries to slim down on the
platform-specific special casing, but which may have larger effects on
non-Windows platforms.
Can someone put one of these in?
Thanks,
Paul.

Better version, which covers all platforms (but which removes a couple of
"OK, where DO site-specific modules go on the Mac?" errors, which may be
glossing over an issue...) is
