I just spent an hour trying a bunch of different ugly kludges to avoid byte
compiling _compat2x.py when installing with Python 3, with no luck.  I've sent
a message off to the python-porting mailing list, though if I don't get a good
answer there, I'll re-post it to distutils-sig.  I'll follow up here if I get
any good advice; it would make for a nice item in my porting quick reference.
