What does this add? The name 'output_dir' isn't referenced anywhere after this point. Not needed any longer. You are right.
There, I've just applied your patch, discarded the unneeded 'build_extensions' and 'output_dir' bits, and checked it all in. Looks like it all still works for me under Linux...
I did an cvs update this morning, and it works. Thanks!
