Ok, I've been chatting with folks on microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi,
and I think the right approach here is to define a Feature for each
version of Python. Each Feature would install the exact same files, but
to a different Python directory.

One of the nice things about this approach would be that you could
install a module for multiple Python versions all at the same time. It
also should avoid the need for a VBScript or C-based CustomAction - we
should be able to do everything with the database tables.

One of the downsides is that we'll have to hard-code in all possible
versions of Python. My current plan is just to declare all versions as
2.0, 2.1, ..., 3.9. That should be good enough for a while, but at some
point this will have to get updated to work with Python 4.0. ;-)

I'll post back here when I've made some progress on this.
