Summary: PYTHONBYTECODEBASE patch (PEP 304)

Initial Comment:
This is just a placeholder patch related to PEP 304.  Feel free to
comment on it.  It's far from complete at this point.  The first
patch is just to see if we can do all the proper detection at
startup.  These checks have to be performed before any .py
files are imported, otherwise you'd have some .pyc files dumped
out before the machinery is ready to go.

The first patch contains mods to sysmodule.c with next to
no concern for platform independence.  There is a small shell
script and a few expected output files which are used to
test setting of various values.  These should probably be
wrapped into regular PyUnit tests which popen() the interpreter
with different settings, but this seemed quicker as a start.

While not technically broken, the patch I just posted is a bit bent.
Withdrawing for a little fixup...

Here's an updated context diff.  It seems to do the right thing on my
Mac OS X system.  It won't currently do anything on Windows ( need help
there).  No more test cases, but if PYTHONBYTECODEBASE points to
a valid directory, the .pyc files seem to get put in all the right places.

To get the behavior, you'll have to configure --with-bytecodebase.

Feedback, please...
