Andrew M. Kuchling ff4ad9a1ce Make the Distribution() constructor forgiving of unknown keyword
arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception.  (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)

Bugfix candidate for all previous versions.  This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful.  If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.

README

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
