Sorry for the delay -- things got busy around here all of a sudden.

Attached is a version of the patch with James Pye's distutils checking
code. Gaetano, please verify it works properly for you.

Although Peter was clearly not in favor of this, Gaetano and James both
are, and I don't feel strongly either way. So barring any other
objections I'll apply this in a day or so.

One procedural issue did occur to me regarding this kind of change. It
requires someone to run autoconf after applying -- how is that normally
handled?

Thanks,

Joe
