I'm talking about the changes that would add the three keyword arguments 
to setup() (use_2to3 etc) so we wouldn't have to deal with two different 
APIs.
Such changes have not yet been committed to Tarek's repo. In my opinion, 
0.6.2 should not be released before this is done.

I just wanted to install distribute (and other packages as well) as 
non-root so I wouldn't screw up the system in case something went badly 
wrong. You're right of course, about it not being an inherent part of 
Python 3 support.
