Again, other people know distutils much better than me and may disagree with me, or maybe rightfully notice my lack of experience on that codebase, but from my own work on it - which while not complicated was not trivial either - I got the conviction that any fundamental change wrt distutils will be extremely painful to do if not impossible in a backward compatible way. I was hoping that a distutils replacement would come for Py3k, actually :)
Well, everyone seem to agree on that: let's create a full, new replacement.
