  Markos's patch, or a yet-to-be-created patch that adds $(TARGET_DIR) to 
the PYTHONPATH instead of passing the system's pythonpath?

  Actually I didn't realize the PYTHONPATH setting for the host variant 
was redundant :-)  I was only talking about the target.

  But I guess that is a separate patch.

  Anyway I'm not sure if the target variant is that relevant, because it 
will not be able to install anything that requires compilation...
