From Robin Dunn, fixes SF # 669198.

   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.

get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".

Compiled the exe, and rebuilt bdist_wininst.py.
