Not sure if this is intended for me. My response would be that I can 
change the patch to use that if that is what people want. PYTHONVER is 
just what I started with when I started doing this in scripts. If you 
have a bunch of packages that you will be building this way you can also 
just export the variable and build without typing it for each build.


Note: I originally sent this to B. Watson instead of the list. My apologies.
