Can the distutils even *do* that?  If so, it'd be fantastic.  I don't 
recall having seen anywhere that you can generate .pth files with the 
distutils, let alone install stuff under a subdirectory.

(Note that not using the distutils, or hacking them up, is not really an 
option for me.  I have other distutils-based stuff at work I have to 
support, that this plugs into.)
