I'm with you.  ;-)

I'm not sure.  The docs for distutils validate my use of "--prefix=" on
Windows and the docs make no distinction between Win98 and WinNT/2k. 
Under the circumstances, my best guess would be to change line 77 of the
Makefile to:

	"$(PYTHON)" inst\setup.py install --install-base="$(TARGET_DIR)"
--install-purelib="lib\python" --install-platlib="lib\python"
--install-data="lib\python" $(OPT_FLAGS)

If you get the chance, do you think you can try this and rerun "nmake
install"?  I'll see if it works under NT...
