Right, but then you still have the problem with /usr/local (note the package
patches mentioned in the other issue), and you'd have to go through that
dance for every bit of functionality which might be found in an external
library.
Someone else (David Cornapeau?) mentioned he just uses a chroot jail to
build numpy and scipy installers. That might ultimately be the best way to
do things.
