But this would mean by default we'd install into:

/usr/local/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages

By default, it makes most sense to install where Python expects to find
site packages.  But indeed there ought to be some way to override this
in case you don't have root access, or don't want to put files there
for some other reason.
