That's not what I'm proposing, though. Assuming you have two different
versions of your package, they should both live next to each other,
in a single root directory, e.g.

foo/
    setup.py
    bar_2x/
    bar_3x/

Then sdist should package it all, through a MANIFEST.in, and
install/bdist/... should package it version-dependent:

if sys.version >= (3,0):
   package_dir = {'bar':'bar_3x'}
else:
   package_dir = {'bar':'bar_2x'}

setup(...
   package=dir = package_dir,
   ...
)

See above. Won't this solve these problems? (although I don't know what
the "appscript" command does)
