[Distutils] distutils extensions

[discussing distutils on xml-sig, since this is becoming
distutil-specific, I swich lists. I'm not sure whether Martin von Loewis
has subscribed to distutils-sig, though...]

2 remarks: 

 * I typo'ed, it's '--doc-files' (with a dash)

 * this option does not handle directories, which really is sad. The
4Suite team has overcome this by providing an extension. I'm looking at
their code right now, and it looks as if their extension package was
really interesting. Is there any chance that it could be incorporated to a
future distutils release, or released as a 4Suite spinoff from the
fourthought site?
