Hi Andy!

Would it be possible to have an alternative setup.py (e.g.
setup_setuptools.py) that uses setuptools from PEAK?  It would be great to
use a ReportLab egg... 

Using setuptools to build eggs and managing install would also be great and
applies to all branches I tried, besides the trunk.  I believe you know
setuptools, but here are some hyperlinks:

        Python Eggs -> http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs
        Setuptools  -> http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools

IIRC, setuptools will be standard in Python 2.5.  If you start supporting it
now, you'll be there already when Python 2.5 comes out ;-)

Also, while building it on Linux with GCC 4.0.2 I get the following
warnings: 

/home/godoy/desenvolvimento/python/reportlab/rl_addons/rl_accel/_rl_accel.c:
In function ‘hex32’:

The trunk is still referring itself as "reportlab 1.20" after installed, is
it correct?

I couldn't build renderPM with "easy_install", even though it gets built
fine with distutils:

_renderPM.c: In function ‘_get_gstatePath’:

(this gets built and is installed)

With distutils all goes fine here as well.

Sorry for all those questions and for bothering you with such details.

Be seeing you,
