Bummer.

Thanks for looking into this.

OK, so that means that the idea of writing out QM_HOME in install_data
doesn't work.  We have to be able to autodetect QM_HOME -- but we wanted
to do that anyhow.

Now, on UNIX, we (used to) use the logic in the "qmtest" shell script to
find QM_HOME.  Now that we're invoking "qmtest.py" directly, this might
be even easier.  Presumably, sys.argv[0] contains the path to qmtest.py
(possibly relative to the current directory).  So, maybe now is the time
to get rid of QM_HOME?  Instead, deduce it in qmtest.py, based on
sys.argv[0].

Nathaniel, any thoughts?
