Hi: Found a small bug in the configure script for 2.2c1 that manifests itself on case-insensitive filesystems (like HFS+) when --with-suffix=\<suffix> is given, and \<suffix> is not set to ".exe". EXEEXT is set to \<suffix> (in my case "x") and BUILDEXEEXT is set to ".exe", leading to the following error during the install:

/usr/bin/install -c python.exe
/sw/src/root-python-unstable-2.2c1-1/sw/bin/
python2.2x
if test -f libpython2.2.so; then \
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 libpython2.2.so
/sw/src/root-python-unstable-2.2c1-1/sw/lib; \
else    true; \
fi
if test -f ""; then \
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 555
/sw/src/root-python-unstable-2.2c1-1/sw/bin; \
else    true; \
fi

The only way to make it build correctly is to use -- with-suffix=.exe, leaving --with-suffix out entirely doesn't work since EXEEXT is then null, and BUILDEXEEXT is still .exe. Seems like BUILDEXEEXT and EXEEXT need to be the same.
