Ned: the patch does have a (positive) effect when building the OSX installer: 
the build-installer script creates private builds of a number of libraries, but 
setup.py can detect other libraries (such as libintl) as well and we don't 
guard against that at the moment.

Skip: I'm +0 on including this functionality, but haven't looked at the patch 
yet.

To be honest I'd must rather remove /opt/local and /sw entirely from setup.py 
and add new configure flags to specify the location of a number of libraries 
(e.g. 'configure --with-sleepycat-db=/opt/local').  Explicit configure flags is 
what other OSS packages seem to use to specify that you like to use a library 
that is not in /usr or /usr/local.
