Surely numeric voting in Python newsgroups has a long and rich 
tradition.  And I don't think "-1" is a misrepresentation of Nick's 
reaction to my proposal.  But I do await his reply.

While we're on the subject, I've just posted a patch, here:

    http://bugs.python.org/issue5819

Note that I had a change of heart and renamed the environment variable, 
as someone suggested.  The current name is PYTHONPREFIXES.

I'm going to nip off and post about it to python-dev,
