This patch is no longer useful as of today, since it was meant to
be used to store the python library. But Doug came up with something
better since then, now committed:

http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-05/msg00476.html
(Allow python to find its files if moved from original location)

There might be a day when we have something else that we'd like to
store in the lib directory. But in the meantime, this is to confirm
that this patch is withdrawn.
