[Distutils] Distutils filenames

[Jack Jansen]

Another problem I ran into with distutils is that while most pathnames follow 
the local machine convention so do not. More precisely, the source files and 
such that the package developer put in their setup.py file are passed along 
unmodified.

For now I've put in a heuristic that will convert pathnames from unix-format 
to mac-format if they contain a / and do not contain a :, but in the long run 
it's probably better if it's specified in what form pathnames in setup.py 
should be, and have the core of distutils convert them.
