Oops.  I jumped the gun here.  warnings doesn't use encodings or
codecs.  Something else imports that.

Another obnoxious thing is that site.py imports distutils just for the
benefit of people running from a build directory.  It would be nice to
find a solution for the build directory that didn't not require a bunch
of distutils package imports.
