Drastically simplified by taking advantage of the "install" command's
new flexibility, specifically the 'root' option. Now, we just use "install" to do a fake installation into a temporary directory (the 'bdist_dir' option, which derives from the 'bdist_base' option of "bdist"), and then tar/zip up that directory. This means that dumb built distributions are now relative to the root directory, rather than the prefix or exec-prefix; this is probably a feature, but does make them slightly less flexible.
