Fixes a bug for Solaris pkgtool (bdist_pkgtool) that would have
prevented it from building subpackages.

This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889.  It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects.  Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.

The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.

XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process.  It will need
substantial testing.

 # XXX this isn't used anywhere, and worse, it has the same name as a method
 # in Command with subtly different semantics.  (This one just has one
 # source -> one dest; that one has many sources -> one dest.)  Nuke it?

Yes.  Nuke it.

modules, distutils does not understand that the build version of the
source tree is needed.

This patch fixes distutils.sysconfig to understand that the running
Python is part of the build tree and needs to use the appropriate
"shape" of the tree. This does not assume anything about the current
directory, so can be used to build 3rd-party modules using Python's
build tree as well.

This is useful since it allows us to use a non-installed debug-mode
Python with 3rd-party modules for testing. It as the side-effect that
set_python_build() is no longer needed (the hack which was added to
allow distutils to be used to build the "standard" extension modules).

This closes SF patch #547734.

--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end
of the installation and at the start of deinstallation.  Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.

sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.

The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:

create_shortcut(path, description, filename,
