- minor cleanup in Metadata
- trigger creation of the sysconfig._CONFIG_VARS dict
- home_page is used over home-page: it’s not a compound word, it’s an
escaped space
Distutils2 is now synchronized with Packaging.
There was already a test for this, but it was complicated and had a
subtle bug (custom command objects need to be put in dist.command_obj so
that other command objects may see them) that rendered it moot.
Packaging uses the shutil.make_archive function copied from distutils,
which does not support compress. There is no test to check that
“bdist --format whatever” works, so this slipped by.
