Well then, we need Richard involved.

We have different definitions of 'works'.

Oh, I've got the email's in my INBOX, clearly ID'ed. My problem is
the two of us are generating new email on the topic faster than I can
catch up my backed up INBOX. The grunge I'm recovering from has my
INBOX behind almost 300 emails, a bunch from just this thread.
And when I do get to look at the old ones, basic details that I'm looking
for are not readily found by me.

Uh, look where? I just pulled git head. I see nothing like that. I do
see a lot broken in the last few months, but not that.

Well, I've got at least five distinct, and incompatible, wants. Depending
on who is installing from where. Does this patchconform to all the
incompatible use cases?

I just want to conform to what distros, Python, and 40 years of
UNIX tradition want. And I'm not seeing what I want yet.

Sorry, loss of context again. Installed by './waf install'?
If so, then that is the CORRECT ANWSWER! That is EXACTLY whet
distros, and Python want, and exactly why './waf install', used
to, correctly, guide the user to updating his PYTHONPATH.

Uh, once again, loss of context... Installed by './waf install'?
Installed to where? IFF you installed with './waf install', and
your PYTHONPATH is unmodified, then that is just plain wrong.
