I think you should add /usr/ccs/{lib,bin,include} and /sw/{lib,bin,include}
to places you automatically search for "useful stuff". As Anders pointed
out, /usr/ccs is something of a standard among the more proprietary of the
Unix platforms. /sw/... is where the fink gang installs all the various GNU
goodies on MacOS X. While you won't need to search /sw/bin for ar and ld,
you might well find useful third-party libraries there which various wrapper
modules can use. When I configured XEmacs without asking it to look in
/sw/... it came up with a fairly feeble configuration (no jpeg or png
support). That said, perhaps the /sw thing will work with a simple change
to setup.py. I'm testing a change right now to see if my build picks up
readline or not.
