THAT'S THE TICKET!  Thank you again.  Once I've jiggered up a way
to readily load a .so and invoke a function from it, I'll post it so the next
guy might find the thing with Google.  Meanwhile, cajoling the distributions
to enable python extensions by default would be a good thing to do.
(Or just do it by default and require a --disable-python option instead....)
