Why don't you use "--root /usr/local/lib/python2.2" and *really*
override the standard library?  

It seems fragile to extend Python with yet more directories to search
in a special order so that the interpreter picks up the correct copy
of somemodule.py from among the four or five copies installed on the
system and on the path.
