This is indeed the problem I'm running against: Greg requested that changes go 
via him, but he's been away for ages now, which essentially stops distutils 
development dead.

I was hoping that Greg had appointed at least one other person to decide on 
patches in his absence. Maybe we should ask him to do this when he surfaces 
again...
