Summary: makes setup.py search sys.prefix
Initial Comment:
It's useful to have setup.py search the lib and include
directories in sys.prefix before it checks /usr/local.
That way, if you are building Python into a custom
location and want it to use the the libraries installed
there rather than the system defaults, you can give the
--prefix option to configure and setup.py will search
that path first.

Michael, can you have a look at this for Python 2.3 (or
2.2.1)?

I totally agree. I'm building for hard hat linux on a
debian host, and the implicit search in /usr/lib is
totally the wrong thing to do in this case.
