It looks like if we put it here:

	dochome =  os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'Doc', 'index.html')

Which translates to:

	/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Doc/index.html

Then the right thing will happen.  The problem is that the docs are  
separate, so it'll be yet another hack in the build script to fetch  
this:

	http://python.org/ftp/python/doc/2.4.2/html-2.4.2.zip

And then unzip it such that Python-Docs-2.4.2 ends up at os.path.join 
(sys.prefix, 'Doc')  (either by symlink or rename).
