When dealing with systems that have multiple versions of Python 
installed, it would be nice if distutils.util.get_platform() included 
the major python version (sys.version[:3]) so that you could do:

python2.3 setup.py install
python2.4 setup.py install

and expect everything to typically work correctly.

I think this was my mistake, not a bug.
