Bill, you've said this a couple of times earlier, but I absolutely fail 
to see what you mean by it. What's the use linking an executable to a 
couple of frameworks if that executable is going to blow itself away 
with an execve() a couple of microseconds later? How will the 
frameworks that bin-python-main has been linked with influence the 
python interpreter that is started later?
