Well, if each project is going to be built for only one platform, 
sure.  But the setup.cfg *overrides* the .pydistutils.cfg, so you don't 
want to distribute a bunch of site/platform-specific options in the 
project's published setup.cfg.

In any case, I thought your original issue had to do with getting 
easy_install to handle these packages automatically, without modifying the 
original packages in any way.  And that's the context in which I've been 
answering your questions.
