This will work, and should also work on other platforms if I understand the docs for splitdrive() correctly.
Incorporated in an updated version of the patch; thanks!
I has to use '--from-root 0' command-line flag, is it supposed to work this way, needing an argument?
Well, if we want to stay backward compatible with the old behaviour, from-root has to default to true, so you need to supply an argument of 0 to turn it off. Do we feel comfortable changing the default to false? (I don't have a problem with that, and have done so in the revised patch.) Or we could turn the option around and have it be a --relative option instead.
The paths in the zip then start with 'Lib/site-packages' and 'Scripts'. Haven't yet tried older python versions, where Lib/site-packages was not yet used, see PEP 250.
