Thomas Heller 1dbe9d5247 Removed the extra_dirs and path_file metadata options.
They are unneeded: All this stuff is already done by the
install command which is run by bdist_wininst.

One bug has been fixed:
The root of the fake install tree is install.install_purelib,
not install.install_lib!
They are different if the extra_path option is used in
the setup function.

Rebuild after the changes to wininst.exe.

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.
