Thanks, Ben. I took a look at this, and I'm a little confused. First, it doesn't seem all that different from "./configure --prefix=ENV" with the exception that you save a little space re-using some libraries. Second, it really doesn't solve my problem, because if ENV/bin/python is my PATH, it can still be confused with /usr/bin/python. What am I missing?
