Greg Ward ff2d9b7154 Hacked things up a bit so that configuration variables are expanded 
in command-line options, and in two phases at that: first, we expand
'install_base' and 'install_platbase', and then the other 'install_*'
options.  This lets us do tricky stuff like
    install --prefix='/tmp$sys_prefix'
...oooh, neat.

Simplified 'select_scheme()' -- it's no longer responsible for expanding
config vars, tildes, etc.

Define installation-specific config vars in 'self.config_vars', rather than
in a local dictionary of one method.  Also factored '_expand_attrs()' out
of 'expand_dirs()' and added 'expand_basedirs()'.

Added a bunch of debugging output so I (and others) can judge the
success of this crazy scheme through direct feedback.

README 

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
