Summary: library-dirs option in setup.cfg crashes distutils

Details: When I set 

library-dirs = /usr/src/own/sp-1.3.4/lib

under [build_ext] in my setup.cfg file, I get a traceback from distutils
that looks like this:

[larsga@localhost pysp]$ python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'pysp' extension
skipping pyspmodule.cxx (build/temp.linux-i686-2.0/pyspmodule.o
up-to-date)

TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "string") to list


If I remove the option, my extension won't build, because gcc can't find
the needed library.

Comment:
I believe this bug was fixed by patch #102971, and therefore isn't 
present in the current CVS tree.  Can you confirm this (perhaps by just
applying the patch) and let me know if that's correct?
