The patch I sent along with the final version of the PEP included the
distutils change (it's only one line, but it's on the PC at home, so I can't
quote it here). I assume that the Python install should ensure that the
site-packages exists (it does at the moment) so I don't see a need for the
wininst installer to check.

PS [After a quick rummage...] I *think* the following patch is what is
needed for distutils: I haven't tested it, though, so it would be better to
check the original version (which I did test...)
