I have a patch (setup.patch) attached to bug #641685 that removes some code duplication in Python's setup.py, which has its own find_library_file() function instead of using the CCompiler.find_library_file() method offered by Distutils. Can someone please review the patch before I check it in? --amk (www.amk.ca) LEAR: Vengeance! plague! death! confusion! -- _King Lear_, II, iv
