how is bdist_dumb different from a plain bdist?

if you decide to keep it in there, can you at least fix the
help text:

  bdist            create a built (binary) distribution
  bdist_dumb       create a "dumb" built distribution
  bdist_rpm        create an RPM distribution
  bdist_wininst    create an executable installer for MS Windows

oh, dumb really means "dumb".  that's helpful.
