I don't want to make the internal layout of a virtualenv differ from the system Python layout on the same platform, which (IIUC) was Mark's proposal.

Just to be clear, I made that suggestion in an effort to keep both myself and Van - that the Python executable would remain in the same place for installed Pythons in the interests of b/w compat, but change it in the virtual env in an effort to keep Van happy when working in such environments. I now fully concede that was a dumb idea :)
