[issue7219] Unhelpful error message when a distutils package install fails due to a permissions error

I wonder if this is IronPython-specific.  Could you temporarily make the site-packages directory of a py3k CPython read-only and try to install a distribution with that CPython?  I can try the same thing on unix.
