cpython/Lib/distutils
Greg Ward bf5c70973f Latest version from Rene Liebscher; major changes:
- added big comment describing possible problems
  - look for and react to versions of gcc, ld, and dlltool; mainly
    this is done by the 'get_versions()' function and the CygwinCCompiler
    and Mingw32CCompiler constructors
  - move 'check_config_h()' to end of file and defer calling it until
    we need to (ie. in the CygwinCCompiler constructor)
  - lots of changes in 'link_shared_object()' -- mostly seems to be
    library and DLL stuff, but I don't follow it entirely

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.
