A hack to augment sys.path with the build/lib.<platform> directory
created by Andrew's setup.py script, *if* we're actually running from the build directory. (The test for that: whether the sys.path[-1] ends in "/Modules".) This has one disadvantage: it imports a fair amount of code from the distutils package, just in order to be able to calculate the correct pathname. See if I care. :-)
