I've since realized that there is a makefile, and doing a "make
install" will do the "python setup.py install" and then install
the utilities in /usr/local/msp430.

I was pretty much stumped about where to get libMSP430mspgcc.so.
The readme file mentions that you need it, but there's no hint
anywhere in the readme files, the web site, mailing list
archives (or anything indexed by Google) about where to get it.
After about an hour of googling and grepping, I finally checked
out the entire mspgcc tree from CVS and did a grep -r on the
whole thing. I found it in a directory under the jtag
directory...

I'll probably just install them to /usr/local/bin -- that's
where all the miscellaneous executables are.

Yea, it took me an embarassingly long time to notice the
makefile. I always use "Makefile" and my brain only looks at
the beginning of the 'ls' for makefiles now. :/
