Hi all --

I've just released a new code snapshot, available at

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html#snapshot

The major change is the addition of Bastian Kleineidam's
"install_scripts" and "install_data" commands.  I'll let you figure out
what type of files these two install.  ;-)

I also fixed a little bug in the "install" command that appeared when
testing Bastian's two commands.

Also, there an initial stab at finding and parsing config files has been 
added.  It doesn't have any actual effect yet, though.

Oh yeah, Lyle Johnson's --compiler switch went in tonight too.

Thanks to Bastian and Lyle for the patches!  (And also to Harry Gebel,
whose bdist_rpm did *not* make it in tonight ... that was the original
plan, but I got distracted by Bastian's stuff.  Ahh well, one patch at a
time...)

        Greg

PS. there's some CVS reshuffling going on at python.org, the upshot of
which is that these changes are *not* available by CVS (unless you
happen to have a login on my home PC, which you do not unless you are
me).  I'm afraid everyone will have to use code snapshots for the next
couple of days.  ;-(
