 I got a lot of push back from upstream folks talking about how using
 distutils isn't the right way forward and so on and so forth. So I
 backed away and left this to be handled by someone more intimately involved.
 
 In many of my previous clients large deployments they've been using
 these patches for about 5 years now. Without them the way the
 architecture dependent python packages work is just broken.
 
 Cheers,
