Ah. Of course. It's distutils that is automatically putting stuff into
/site-packages/sage; before, we would put a symlink there and everything
got redirected appropriately.

I need to tell distutils' install_lib function to not put things into
the site-packages directory; anyone know how I can do that? I see an
"install-dir" option for install_lib [1], but I don't want to use a
setup.cfg file, I want the option to be determined by an environment
variable. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Dan
