Specifically, I propose that distutils should be extended to search for an implementation class across a list of packages instead of only distutils.command, keeping distutils.command as the default entry in the list.

I'm willing to work up a patch for this; are there any objections to adding this functionality in Python 2.4? (I'd like to have this in the coming alpha if at all possible.)
Fine by me.
