On that note, it turned out SuSE 10.0's Python configuration did not have 
a /usr/local site-packages directory, forcing all 3rd party Python libraries 
to be installed into /usr.  I reported it, and it got fixed!

Actually, is there a Wiki page or something that lists all the problems 
different distributions have?  There's a page that lists what distributions 
can do to fix their /usr/local problems:

http://plan99.net/autopackage/What_can_distributions_do_to_fix_broken/usr/local_support

...but is there a page that actually lists different distributions and their 
issues (not just /usr/local related)?
