Ok I'm convinced now :)

Having this for Distribute 0.6 could make Py3k developer switch on it
very soon but on the other hand, it wuld force them to change their imports
by the time 0.7 is out.

OTOH, if they know it, they would probably be grateful to have something
working today under 3.x

So what is the work left to be done so it works fully for our code base ?
