[Distutils] RE: Possible solution for PEP250 and bdist_wininst

From: Thomas Heller [mailto:thomas.heller@ion-tof.com]

I have a possible solution for this problem. [Description cut]

Sounds OK to me, but if I knew much about this area I'd have covered it in the PEP :-) One question: Should sys.extinstallpath be set for all platforms? Cleanrly, nothing but Windows will use it at present, but is there a meaningful value it could have on other platforms? If so, exposing it uniformly seems sensible. Paul.
