True.  When someone downloads GNU Radio as a tarball, runs configure,
make, etc., and installs it, everything gets put into the right place to
be used with the version of Python discovered on the path.  This is a
good thing, I think, as it covers the most common case.

Understood.  There really isn't a clean solution to this, however.  I'd
be happy if could figure out one that doesn't make the common case more
difficult.

Right.
