  When you post a v2 of a patch, it is nice if you can add a changelog 
below your signed-off-by line (separated by ---).

  Redundant empty line at end of file.

  This is the default, so can be removed.

  We currently have Apache-v2 (ImageMagick), Apache-2.0 (lua-msgpack) and 
Apache v2.0 (zxing). I personally prefer Apache-2.0.

  Unfortunately, installation fails when host-python-distutilscross has 
been installed already (by python-protobuf or python-netifaces).


------
running install
Checking .pth file support in $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/python -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT 
support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

     $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
------

  What happens is very clear: we're installing using the host-python, 
which doesn't look at TARGET_DIR to load packages. I would expect that 
distutilscross knows how to deal with that, but haven't found how...

  Regards,
  Arnout
