Oh my, you are exactly right.  That is it.  That is what happens when I 
work at 3:00 AM.

What I did not communicate clearly in my initial posting is that 
--install-script does not seem to be accepted in 2.6.4 and I could find 
no mention of that being the case on-line.  Nor could I find this option 
in the 2.6.4 distutils source code of my Python installation.
