Same as sysconfig but now in distutils  _PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE has to be used in cross-build environment.

Also _PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE should be initialized to build directory by configure - low priority as other issue prevent python to be build and tested smoothly outside source tree.

This looks ok to me, just factoring out some code and setting the project base. Even if distutils is frozen, I'll apply this one, based on Eric's comment in http://bugs.python.org/issue14330#msg164406

I'll use abs_builddir instead.

and adding the pybuilddir to PYTHONPATH, so that _sysconfigdata.py is found if it does exist.

$(shell test -f pybuilddir.txt && echo $(abs_builddir)/`cat pybuilddir.txt`:)

Yes after some fixes related to issue 15819 (msg173144) this is preferred.
