Greg Ward 8a98cd9e25 Add /GX to 'compile_options'. This is definitely needed for C++ source;
according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers.  Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.

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.
