Are you saying you want the user to do something like this to set
PYTHONPATH:

echo export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
  >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc

Then, once PYTHONPATH is set, this will install to /usr/local/lib:

./waf configure --prefix=/usr/local
sudo ./waf install

If so, are we in agreement that wafhelpers/fix_python_config.py is at a
minimum not necessary (at worst actively harmful), and should be removed?
