To better support a patched email package w/ Python 2.2, prepend

sitedir to sys.path instead of appending it.  This means our email
package will override the one in Python 2.2.

+# Include Python's site-packages directory.  We need this even for Python 2.2
+# since the email package has some patches not included in 2.2 final (though
+# likely included in a 2.2 patch release, not available as of this writing
+# 29-Jan-2002).  That's why we prepend sitedir to sys.path, not append it.
