distutils's --root option could be used to specific a different
install directory than site-packages right? So conceivably site.py
could prepend some directory onto sys.path, and distutils could be
coaxed into installing there rather than site-packages. This might
provide a principled way to override Python's standard library when
you're really sure that's what you want to do.
