I think you are going to have to hack for now.. In fact, everyone is just having a good old hack at it.. distutils started as a hack.. and it is maybe getting cleaned up now - but it was a hack for such a long time. If you hack.. you'll be in good company. It's what everyone is doing. You're on the right list. :-) > To ease installation, we pre-build > them for some popular platforms and provide a distribution system for > the app to fetch them. very modern.. Can you divulge the name of your project? I'd like to look at your hacking..
