Hi Sean,

After reading databases/py-sqlite3/Makeilfe from NetBSD's pkgsrc, I
have this patch:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~lwhsu/patch/py-sqlite3__lib-dynload.diff

Due to time constraint, I haven't test it with virtualenv, please tell
me if it works.

I think changing the install destination of these built-in modules to
the default position is right direction.  But this patch is not a good
solution, we need to handle PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS better instead of
putting between bsd.port.{pre,post}.mk .  Please tell me if there is a
better way to do this.  Thanks.

Li-Wen
