I forgot to mention that (I think) this will require an extra run of the
setup script compared to Harry's scheme: one to do the fake install to
/tmp/usr/lib/python1.5, and one to get the list of files (ie. "setup.py
install --record-install").  This doesn't bother me a bit, in fact I
think it makes more sense than trying to do them both at the same time.
