This allows additional commands to be provided for existing setup.py

scripts without modifying either the distutils installation or the
setup.py scripts of packages with which the new commands will be used.

Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command.  The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.

This closes SF patch #102241.

@ -1946,6 +1946,37 @@ This approach is most valuable if the new implementations must be used
to use a particular package, as everyone interested in the package
will need to have the new command implementation.
Beginning with Python 2.4, a third option is available, intended to
allow new commands to be added which can support existing
\file{setup.py} scripts without requiring modifications to the Python
installation. This is expected to allow third-party extensions to
provide support for additional packaging systems, but the commands can
be used for anything distutils commands can be used for. A new
configuration option, \option{command\_packages} (command-line option
\longprogramopt{command-packages}), can be used to specify additional
packages to be searched for modules implementing commands. Like all
distutils options, this can be specified on the command line or in a
configuration file. This option can only be set in the
\code{[global]} section of a configuration file, or before any
commands on the command line. If set in a configuration file, it can
be overridden from the command line; setting it to an empty string on
the command line causes the default to be used. This should never be
set in a configuration file provided with a package.
This new option can be used to add any number of packages to the list
of packages searched for command implementations; multiple package
names should be separated by commas. When not specified, the search
is only performed in the \module{distutils.command} package. When
\file{setup.py} is run with the option
\longprogramopt{command-packages} \programopt{distcmds,buildcmds},
however, the packages \module{distutils.command}, \module{distcmds},
and \module{buildcmds} will be searched in that order. New commands
are expected to be implemented in modules of the same name as the
command by classes sharing the same name. Given the example command
line option above, the command \command{bdist\_openpkg} could be
implemented by the class \class{distcmds.bdist_openpkg.bdist_openpkg}
or \class{buildcmds.bdist_openpkg.bdist_openpkg}.
