I see a trend here. Instead of me adding flags willy nilly, I should add a 
few for passthrough to distutils or setuptools' use by JCC.

If you figure out what works for your case by trying them out by editing 
jcc's python.py file and let me know I can see what pattern is likely to be 
most helpful.

The problem I saw with a distutils bdist archive on my mac is that the paths 
of entries in the archive (a tar.gz archive) all started with /Library.
On the other hand, a bdist_egg by setuptools worked very nicely.

Thanks !
