As someone who maintains Python for several unix based architectures I am not concerned with disk space but really file duplication with the obvious risc to run out of sync. Also, the plat-<platform> scheme is far from being able to capture the complexity of this world. SGI alone has 3 ABIs o32 n32 n64 multiplied by MIPS1, MIPS3, MIPS4 instruction sets yimes IRIX5.x, IRIX6.2, IRIX6.3, IRIX6.4, IRIX6.5 and many of these combinations are incompatible. ! Finally, why have a $prefix and a $ exec_prefix if it is not used to split plateform dependent stuff from platform independent. And we should really take this dot distutil-sig :) -Michel
