Technically, I meant it's possible to walk back until you find a
'self' that's a different Distribution instance, at which point you
can ask for an easy_install command and check for a prefix. You're
probably better off doing that than trying to parse argv, especially
since the prefix might be coming from a configuration file anyway.
