Summary: Setting PYTHONHOME= breaks setup.py

Initial Comment:
On UnixWare, the Makefile now invokes

PYTHONPATH= PYTHONHOME= PYTHONSTARTUP= ./python
setup.py build

This gives the error

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 6, in ?
    import sys, os, getopt
ImportError: No module named os

The problem is that it only looks in . and
lib/python2.2/*, not in Lib.

Unsetting PYTHONHOME was not my idea :) But I do agree that
doing this in 2.1.1 is not a good idea. Reverting the patch
there, and reassigning the bug to Neil, whose idea it seems
to have been.
