   Add the 'register' distutils command

  Add 'classifiers' keyword to DistributionMetadata

This adds a --relative option to the bdist_dumb command that defaults
to false; if true, the .tar.gz or .zip will be assembled using relative
paths.

bdist_wininst.py we will see.)

Removed the base64 encoded binary contents, wininst.exe must be in the
same directory as this file now.

wininst.exe must be recompiled and commited each time the sources in
PC/bdist_wininst are changed.

        Previously archive_util.py attempted to spawn an
        external 'zip' program for the zip action, if this fails, an
        attempt to import zipfile.py is made...

        This bites folks who have 'old' or non-conforming zip
        programs on windows platforms.  This change tries the 'zipfile'
        module first, falling back to spawning a zip process if
        the module isn't available.

    suggested by PEP 291.

If you have source files srcdir1/foo.c and srcdir2/foo.c, the
temporary .o for both files is written to build/temp.<platform>/foo.o.
This patch sets strip_dir to false for both calls to object_filename,
so now the object files are written to temp.<platform>/srcdir1/foo.o
and .../srcdir2/foo.o.

2.2 bugfix candidate

The two long lines have been reflowed differently; hopefully someone on
BeOS can test them.  Rev. 1.53 also converted string.atoi() to int(); I've
left that alone.

  Fixed by catching all exceptions that are subclasses of DistutilsError,
  so only the error message will be printed.  You can still get the
  whole traceback by enabling the Distutils debugging mode.

always available on Windows NT. When the function cannot be loaded,
get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".

Compiled the exe, and rebuilt bdist_wininst.py.

* ccompiler.py
  (CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
  CCompiler.detect_language().

  (CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
  a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
  detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
  language_order will stablish the language precedence.

  to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
  made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.

  linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.

* command/build_ext.py
  (build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
  to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
  ext.language is not provided, detect language using
  compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.

* command/config.py
  (config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
  parameter of compiler.link_executable().

Recreated after recompilation of wininst.exe.

customize_compiler() now looks at various environment variables and uses
   their values to override the configured C compiler/preprocessor/linker
   binary and flags.

   up before Distutils prints the command being invoked.
