Ha ha, famous last words, I've been fighting this for days.

Ok, attached is a patch that causes the two Python modules to be
installed in a versioned directory.  Also attached is a separate
patch, orthogonal to the first, which changes how the modules are
made available to the aot-compile scripts.  What is currently in
svn adds the directory to the _end_ of the path, so if the modules
exist elsewhere then the other versions will take priority.  The
attached patch changes it to add the directory to the start of the
path.

If the patches are ok then could someone please commit them for me?
I thought I had commit access, but I couldn't seem to check out a
tree using ssh, so maybe it was revoked for inactivity :)

Cheers,
Gary

Thanks, Gary!  I see you committed this to HEAD; any chance you could
also push this to the GCC 4.5 branch which is our latest release(d)
branch?
