I was actually looking at something Fred wrote and managed to misread it 
as something you had posted - and it turns out Skip was just agreeing 
with Fred about the 'provide an option to tell distutils to use a 
different user-specific directory name than the default one' idea, and 
isn't particularly worried about where the packages go by default.

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,
Nick.
