What value do you get for self.prefix in the InstallKDE class's run method?
I see a value of "/opt/kde", but my Python installation's prefix is
/usr/local/.

I'm not sure how I can avoid this if I want to install scripts in
/opt/kde/bin and Python modules somewhere in /usr/local/lib/. I'm not
familiar enough with Distutils' internals to be able to suggest an
immediate workaround. :-(
