Question:

I have both python2.2.3 (installed as /usr/bin/python) and python2.3
(installed as /usr/bin/python2.3).  There are /usr/lib/python2.2
and /usr/lib/python2.3. 
 If I do
PYTHON_ROOT=/usr bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" stage

which python will it find?  How do I get bjam to tell me?

Question2:

What's needed for a more "POSIX friendly" version?  Would you like a
volunteer?
