I think the original poster was saying that he wanted to use something other
than $dist_name in these. Whether allowing that is a reasonable idea, I
can't say. But it's very different from wanting to alter the base install
location....

PS Do the installers butlt by distutils (bdist_wininst and the like) respect
setup.cfg? If not, I believe they should. Or at least, the installer should
include a way for the end user to specify an alternative install
directory...
