    As discussed in Distutils-SIG.

    Here's a patch for site.py that adds:

    • getsitepackages : Returns a list containing all global site-packages
      directories (and possibly site-python).

    • getusersitepackages: Returns the user-specific site-packages directory
      path.

    • getuserbase: Returns the user base directory path.

    Two things:

    • The globals should get a comment explaining what their purpose is and
      where they are being initialized.

    • The get*() functions should only initialize the globals if they are
      set to None. In the patch, they are initialized every time the functions
      are called.

    Done.

    I've put Christian in the loop since he implemented the PEP-370
    feature, to make sure these changes are fine with him.
