Thanks very much for these - I'll study these and try to get them
in place tomorrow.  (I'm in the middle of another deadline tonight).

I agree.  For the record, I think distutils is a monstrosity, which is why
we ignored it for so many years; I have never seen a clean non-trivial
setup script.

Done in subversion just now...
