   leaves them as strings, but they're supposed to be lists.

Should probably be set to 1.0.2 before final release of python 2.1

Does someone still release distutils separate from python?

has been changed to include an uninstaller.
I forgot to mention in the uninstaller checkin that the logfile
name (used for uninstalling) has been changed from
<module>.log to <module>-wininst.log. This should prevent
conflicts with a distutils logfile serving the same purpose.

The short form of the --bdist-dir (-d) option has been removed
because it caused conflicts with the short form of the --dist-dir
option.

slightly more brief, and more like the message that an extension will not
be built because the built copy is up to date.

 the Cygwin-specific compiler class.

 (According to Jason Tishler, cygwinccompiler needs some work to
  handle the differences in Cygwin- and MSVC-Python. Makefile and
  config files are currently ignored by cygwinccompiler, as it was
  written to support cygwin for extensions which are intended to be
  used with the standard MSVC built Python.)

--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.

The editbox in the first screen now longer is
selected (highlighted), it had the WS_TABSTOP flag.

This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.

and also takes the sys.platform name into account. This helps on
platforms where there are multiple possible compiler backends (the
one with which Python itself was compiled is preferred over others
in this case).

The patch uses this new technique to enable using cygwin compiler
per default for cygwin compiled Pythons.

prevent binding for str from masking use of builtin str in nested
function.

(This is the only case I found in the standard library where a local
shadows a global or builtin.  There may be others, but the regression
test doesn't catch them.)

    Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py(build_ext.finalize_options): Add
    Cygwin specific code to append Python's library directory to the
    extension's list of library directories.

    (build_ext.get_libraries): Add Cygwin specific code to append Python's
    (import) library to the extension's list of libraries.

  This patch adds support for Cygwin to util.get_platform(). A Cygwin
  specific case is needed due to the format of Cygwin's uname command,
  which contains '/' characters.

sys.prefix + 'config/Makefile'. When building Python for the first
time, these files aren't there, so the files from the build tree have
to be used instead; this file adds an entry point for specifying that
the build tree files should be used.  (Perhaps 'set_python_build' should
should be preceded with an underscore?)

for done[n] can be integers as well as strings, but the code
concatenates them with strings (fixed by adding a str()) and calls
string.strip() on them (fixed by rearranging the logic)

(Presumably this wasn't noticed previously because parse_makefile()
was only called on Modules/Makefile, which contains no integer-valued
variables.)

produce a list of unique filenames:
    "While attempting to build an RPM using distutils on Python 2.0,
    rpm complained about duplicate files.  The following patch fixed
    that problem.

    prevent creating files such as build/lib.whatever/Modules/foo.o
    when given a source filename such as Modules/foo.c.

Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.

use it to generate a dialog for users to specify the command-line (because
providing a command-line with MacPython is so awkward).
