[Python-Dev] make install failing with current cvs

[Jack Jansen]

Make install has started failing on me with the current CVS tree. The 
problem is that I have various third-party packages installed in 
site-python that have inconsistent tab usage (PyOpenGL and Numeric are 
two of the more popular ones). The compileall step gets TabError 
exceptions for these files, and this causes it to finally exiting with 
a non-zero exit status.

I think either compileall should skip site-packages, or it should at 
least not abort the install if there are compile errors there.

I've looked around and I think patch 661719 has something to do with 
this, but I'm not sure.
