OK, I added a technique we use for Zenmap where the setup.pl modifies the
actual script (ndiff in this case) at install time so it knows where to
find its modules.  This is particularly important for the RPMs since they
get installed to the location which was appropriate to our CentOS 5 build
machines (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages) even though the machine we
install it on may have a different version of Python.  This ensures that
the module still gets found.

Cheers,
Fyodor
