>Description:
	If both python15 and python21 is installed and you try to build
	the devel/py-distutils you get some wierd "make" output:

	thoreau 836> make
	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
	ImportError: No module named distutils.sysconfig
	Traceback (innermost last):
	  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
	ImportError: No module named distutils.sysconfig

	===> Extracting for py15-distutils-1.0.2
	===> Required installed package python15>=1.5: python15-1.5.2 found

	and so on...  I don't think it actually causes any permanent
	problems but I don't know any python so I can't be sure...

	cd .../lang/python15 ; make install
	cd .../lang/python21 ; make install
