I think this must be a distutils/setuptools bug. I put a print
statement in jcc/jcc/sources/python.py to print the args to setup before
running it, and this is what I see:

Your code is passing a properly formatted pathname to --install-lib, but it
seems to be mis-behaving with it.
I also found out that msys automatically converts to Windows-style
pathnames when passing arguments to non-msys programs. Talk about
dirty hacks...
