ANNOUNCE: Distutils 0.1.1

Finally got around to fixing those Windows portability bugs. Also hacked on the "dist" command a bit, and did some interesting stuff with global options. Here's the change log: release 0.1.1: * fixed 'mkpath()' function so it should work under DOS/Windows * changes to how we link C code: - under Unix, object files precede -l options on link command line - libraries now can have a directory component, which forces the library to be searched for in only that directory * added --force and --quiet global options * made global options (--verbose, --dry-run, and now --force and --quiet too) valid at each command as well as for the whole distribution * 'dist' command now works on Unices other than Linux; generates tar, tar.Z, tar.gz, and ZIP files. Still Unix-dependent though. RTFS, or the CVS logs, for details. Oh yeah: download it from http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/ Enjoy!
